The below is pasted from an email I received from a friend from California =
who was up here for the 5th time to photograph Great Greys and Hawk Owls. =
He's an exceptional birder who has been birding for 20+ years with an ABA =
List well over 700. So I have no reason to doubt his identification. =
Here is what he wrote to me when I asked for details:

"It was about 11 am Saturday, along CR64, about a mile
before it ends / makes left turn; this particular spot
happens to have a lot of spruce on both sides of the
road. It was a male and it was crouched on the side
of the road. I made a U-turn to try to get a photo,
but as I pulled into position, it started walking,
then flew across the road, at which point the chestnut
terminal tail band showed obviously. Even before
seeing the tailband, the ID was obvious, esp. since
I'd seen Sharp-tails earlier in the day, and had seen
Ruffed the preceding weekend. "
