I've only seen two, in over 60 years, but boy do they stand out when you finally see one.

Yes they DO stand out. We have had a pair make their way along the creek way up in the trees for a couple years but didn't see them last year.

Nope, but I've had them at my other feeders. The first time my wife heard one she said "If that $#%#$%#$ cat comes over here and tries to get my birds it's going to leave here with a stick up his butt." She didn't believe me when I said it was a bird until it landed on the wood pile and started calling.
