Great shot!

I haven't seen one of those birds yet this year.

I got lucky with this shot I took at West Beach car park, Pelee last month.  After two weeks chasing around trying to see one in the high canopy, this bird gave itself up in the late evening sunshine.  Sadly no one else was with me to share it.
