Found one on a branch instead of a power pole for once! Pretty heavy crop on this one.

Thanks Al, we have quite a few in the winter. I really don't know why, winter is pretty harsh here. But I'm not complaining!:lol:

Good one Dave. I can't remember the last decade when I've seen one of these guys. Hopefully they'll hang around all winter for you.:-)

Thanks Terry, they usually stay all winter, until the end of February or so.

Great shot Dave. How far are you from Kalispell, Butte or anywhere that Horizon airline service in Montana.

We're way up in the northeastern corner. About25 miles to Canada and 25 miles to North Dakota. Billings is about 300 miles. Williston, ND has commercial traffic but I'm not sure what airlines service it, I'll check. Williston is about 75 miles. That's where we do our major shopping. Antelope, Mt is where I live.

Beautiful shot-the tiny branch is almost comical. Really shows how, as big as they are, they really don't weigh all that much.
