[Davchaffin@xxxxxxx]

Birders,
 
You could have blown me over with a single breath, but at about 4:30pm  
Central yesterday during the first day of a 4 day trip, Bob O'Dear and I heard  
the 
bird three times.  Twice, it was the single high pitched shrill note,  while 
the third time, it was the rapid fire cadence call.  We are staying  at 
Mallard Pointe Lodge and Reserve, the only private land adjacent to the  
restricted 
area. We have not heard the double pecking notes yet nor seen the  bird, which 
I still think is a long shot, but I now feel better about  our chances.
 
A very memorable #799 ABA.
 
Will send more details as time allows.
