Description

The voting was extremely close among three deserving photos: a seldom seen and nicely posed Golden-winged Warbler (John Carlson), an in-your-face Golden-crowned Kinglet (Jeannie Marcure), and this lovely Hermit Thrush surrounded by snow in Bozeman. Congratulations to Robin Wolcott for taking the MOB "Photo of the Month" for October 2009.

The purpose of MOB is to provide up-to-date information on bird sightings from throughout Montana. Many of these reports become records in the Montana Bird Distribution database that is maintained by the Montana Natural Heritage Program. Unusual or interesting sightings are welcome, as are general birding discussions. Announcements about birding trips, field projects, meetings, etc., also are welcome. Many people from outside Montana belong to MOB, but the postings generally should be limited to bird species and events that occur within our state borders. Members are encouraged to share their bird photographs for artistic reasons, as well as to help with identification issues. The ultimate goals of MOB are to promote birdwatching, provide a forum for birders of all levels to increase their knowledge and skill, and most important, to increase our understanding of bird distribution within the state.

Patrick Toomey, moderator, Charlottesville, Virginia (formerly of Victor, Montana). Any questions or problems contact me via email: PToomeyJr@gmail.com

We lost it after 4 when a kayak went by. More folks came and we looked until after 5. It was fun to see folks from all around the state who all had a common
