Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the MOB-Montana group: Time to vote for the Dec/Jan photo of the month. Poll will be open until Feb. 7,...
Hello all, The Dec/Jan photo contest is now open. It will close when I wake up on February 7, 2011. Lots of photos to choose from including a good selection of...
Out of curiosity does anyone share any thoughts about the preferences of both the photographers or the other members as to why there is such a strong...
Mob, This morning I saw a Snowy Owl just south of Westby flying along the State Line road, first on the Montana side, then on the North Dakota side, then on...
Raptors are easier to photograph because they are large and thus one does not need to be so close; but, harder to find and/or approach makes them more...
No, it's not a misprint. I was amazed to see a Hermit Thrush this afternoon at East Gallatin Recreation Area just NW of Bozeman. It was feeding along a small...
Several questions come to mind; 1) What could it be feeding on? 2) Has it over-wintered and was overlooked on the Bozeman CBC, or is it the earliest of all...
as of 31 Jan 2011 129 species, six ahead of last year. The below list has 16 birds recorded through the end of February 2010 that have not yet been logged...
Hi Mob, Sunshine, 30 above, no wind and just enough fresh snow to cover up last week's ice and bare spots on the old Railroad grade recreation trail northwest...
Hi Wayne and MOB: I have not been able to locate any Snowy Owls since my last posting. I think they are still around; but out of sight. Bob Rost - Ronan MT ...
What happened to the former ability to forward postings to one's email? Some of us like to compile others' messages, but do not have them sent to our email. We...
Jim, I was unaware of that feature, so I cannot tell you when it disappeared. I looked all over and it certainly, as you stated, does not seem to be there...
Yes, this is a step backwards. The solution is to simply CC or BCC your own email address along with the MOB-Montana email in the TO: field of your post. Scott...
Yet another junco at our feeder with unusual features, and I wonder if a line over eye + slight pale patch at lores + speckly breast + pale throat is...
Radd and others, Hermit Thrush is by no means common in Montana in winter, but it has been reported on several Christmas Counts in the past and is the only ...
This evening on the way home from work, several of us saw a Great Gray Owl on Hiberta Street, just south of 3rd Street West, in Missoula. It was hunting in...
Hi Patrick, Why owls? I think several factors play into it. Besides being larger, thus easier to photograph from a reasonable distance, owls tend to perch for ...
Thanks Kristi, it’s a whole lot of fun when you know you have something the moment after hitting the shutter. As to Owls.......who doesn’t like them.. As...
Jim: Dark-eyed Junco x White-throated Sparrow is one of the most frequently documented hybrid sparrow combinations, and I think your bird is consistent with...
On my almost daily drive around the Pablo Reservoir area , I usually see at least one of them about half the time. Sometimes both owls, sometimes on the...
Don - Excellent set of photos. Thanks for posting them. It's nice to see that the elusive ones (Boreal and Chestnut-backed), even as tame as many chickadees...
Thanks Jim – they can be a real kick to work with. Don From: vireoman2004 Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 2:00 PM To: MOB-Montana@yahoogroups.com Subject:...
Thanks Dan. I think we are both "wrong" but likely correct in that it is not a "pure" form of Junco. Paul Lehman suggests that it is likely an "inter-grade"...
A single TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE foraged past this morning [FOY for us], easterly along Preston and the RR line. Several Bald eagles calling, while 20+ juncos, 4+...
MOBsters, The 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is coming soon. This year it is 18-21 February and presents us with an additional reason for getting out...
Sounds like you guys must have very good habitat. Here in Great Falls we're not getting so much. I'm not that familiar with the abbreviations used by MOB, is ...
