Arla -- I wonder if CBC's to south and southwest will reflect an increase of some waterfowl you noted. I'm surprised you have flowing water! Our reservoir...
We have had more ice on the river this winter then is normal for us off and on. There are parts of the river here that are very fast and do not freeze. There...
I've added a slideshow of pine grosbeaks and waxwings in Columbia Falls here: http://www.glacierparkmagazine.com/page13/page13.html Thought it might interest...
Hello Fellow Birders, Took a little spin around Giant Springs this morning, driving & walking, The river had its usual denizens, Canada Goose, American Coot,...
MOB-sters: Today we noticed an interesting phenomenon in our yard. Because we have the largest trees in the neighborhood, most of the waxwings in town end up...
Hi MOB, Two small flocks of Snow Buntings were seen from I 15 - approximate MP 135 and 140 - north of Butte yesterday. Rough-legged Hawks were again numerous...
While on my pre-work dog walk in the hood this morning I had a Prairie Falcon fly over me in the direction of the river! The bird was not in any hurry so I...
Sharon et al: I have not gone back to look at previous shots of the Great Falls swans, but the most recent photo you posted appears to show a Tundra Swan, not...
Dan is right, I rechecked my photos of the 2 swans we have had here in Great Falls this winter. My face is red, I messed up on the id. This means we need to...
Sunday we took advantage of the beautiful day and took a long road trip from Twin Bridges, along the Burma road to the Big Hole River. We followed the river...
I wondered about that. Since the closer I got the more I could see that there was considerable space between the bill and the eye. I guess one should not...
Good news for carbon, but wind farms aren't always bird-friendly. Wind farms on private land seem to be exempt from environmental review. We need to make sure...
Greetings Stan, Steve Reitz, Shawn Stewert and I now have four sightings of the Ferruginous Hawk since December 15. Hopefully it will be enough to be...
On Saturday and again today saw great horned owls paired up and hooting in Helena. On Monday, my son was sick so rather than go to school and me go to work, I...

Hey MOBers, Today I saw a Eurasian dove on a telephone pole on Durston and 19th...and I was curious if anyone knew how common they are in Bozeman. I know they...
They're relatively common around the valley in particular locations. A lot of these locations seem to be trailer parks, in particular, the one located between...
A question arose as to why I've labelled a couple of female-looking PINE GROSBEAKS as male. I figured they are of the russet variety, due to showing red...

Jim: All adult male Pine Grosbeaks have pink in the breast to some degree. According to Pyle's handbook, and Sibley's field guide, some percentage of first-...
Thanks Dan -- I was confused by Sibley's placement of a russet un-sexed bird to the right of the male, with the sex-labelled female to the left; I had assumed...
I forgot to ask, is the red-throated one labelled male, not a male? - Jim ... sexed ... you ... I'd ... be ... from ... flew ... trees ... showing ... degree. ...
