Rav I usually don't find them to often. The one I went looking for last summer was up in an oak tree 30' up in a knot hole in the tree, but I had to find out what the noise was as i had heard it for the previous 10 summers and could not see any birds in the area the sound was coming from. They seem to stay up so they are really not easy to spot. It must be a mating call. Seems to come out in the heat of the day. The camo is pretty much just like the bark of a white oak tree. When you can get them they are very slow and mellow, an easy catch if you find them. Not worth the drive as i have only seen 3 or 4 up close so far, but there are a few around, not tons though. There was an article on them in Mass Wildlife mag. last year I think. Got a very distinct call, sound that makes you wonder what bird is that. P.
