Sitting in the yard with bad lighting and I kept hear this guy. He makes a sound like a big water drop hitting in a bucket.:)

Looks like a kind of crow or raven. Some birds make a single low click sound as it carries further than a high warble.

I posted a shot of one of these a while back and was told it is the male brown headed cowbird.

Don't need to look ,Erv--know by the sound you described it's a Cowbird.

I have heard them back in the woods. But this is the first one I have seen coming into the yard I think.

Yes, this is a male Erv, the females are more lighter brown throughout their whole body. They look like they are about to puke when they let out a call.
