A lot of my birding is done along the Yellowstone River and other bodies of water. Being a farely scares commodity around these parts, water attracts wildlife. Photographed a long-billed curlew the other day, but at 200 yards it's not very impressive. I'm trying to catch them feeding on nightcrawlers which is a hoot to see!
Bill, on the site I linked above is a photo of a pair of burrowing owls 5 miles north of Ft. Peck. They are normally associated with prairie dogs.
We are in the midst of a rain, snow, wind storm at about 35 degrees. This happened a couple years ago and town was full of colorful Western Tanagers for several days! Everybody noticed them.
