Not a rarity at all. They freeze in the headlights on the ENP main park roads at night and I often have to stop, turn off the lights and, sometimes, get out of the car and move them or shy them off the road. I had to actually pick several up and move them. When threatened they can and will "freeze"; sometimes beyond reason. Now about the Green Cay bird: It has been in an area that is posted off-limits as there is historically a bobcat that raises her young in that area and several photographers, determined to get a photo of the back end of a Chuck-Will's widow, were well into the prohibited area. This is neither acceptable nor ethical. Please if you see them in there ask them to leave! Best photos were from the parking area road anyways!
