Hi David,

All I can offer are obvious suggestions - like scouting for trails or roads=
 in the daylight. Finding a good vantage near where you have previously hea=
rd it calling from and waiting there for it to make its rounds. If you have=
 the gear to do it, a less directional array left to record unmanned might =
prove more productive.
