Thank you Daniele. I checked him out. Cool.
Dixie, you can hear this bird in the video in this spotting, and also see its bold behavior:

You know what we need? Some way to listen to the birds. I noticed you said 'bold and noisy habits'. I'd like to hear what it sounds like. Maybe Audubon Birds has a recording.
I'm looking at your pics. Very nice!
