 Nice Doug, I don't believe I've ever seen one of those before.

Hi Kevin,
You won't unless you are in the pink, so to speak .

The Lake Tahoe area is a major hot spot for these birds (my photo was a little farther north where I would not draw nearly as much attention to the nest site).  A good area for seeing this bird is the road along the southwest side of Fallen Leaf Lake.
