That looks like the sharpie that I photographed, and pointed out to a US Fish and Wildlife Service film crew, last Thursday. I posted the pics on the blog this morning. http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/
I photographed one in the smae spot around Thanksgiving http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/2007/12/whos-afraid-of-big-bad-sharpie.html so it would seem likely that the feeders by the refuge headquarters are part of it's hunting grounds.
