Yep - jealous indeed, as these are especially nice images.

I haven't even seen one of these birds yet. I know a retired Fish & Wildlfie biologist who knows where some are, and he offered to take me in to see 'em. Thing is, it's a full day's hike up to where they are. That means having to pack overnight gear. Ties up three days - one to hike in, one to photograph them, one day hiking out. The summer is already getting quite full - don't know if I have 3 consecutive days that are open.

Maybe someone knows where some are that are more accessible?
