The only proof I had she existed was this picture. I finally found here yesterday and got her out. Damn fine calf the old girl is raising. Taken…

I had noticed for quite a while that something had been chewing on the tree but wasn't sure what. Turns out it wasn't chewing the tree but…

  • Fog

It was a little weird to see fog at this time of year. Taken 8/18/2006.</center>

  • Combine

He always said the thing he missed most when he bought the place in Livingston was the farming. Sounds pretty nutty to me. I don't like the farming. Taken 8/14/2006.</center>

There has been some nesting here for quite a few years. A quick search of <a href="http://fwp.mt.gov/fieldguide/displaySpecies.aspx?family=Accipitridae">Montana raptors</a> leaves me bewildered to its identity but I think it is a Red-tailed Hawk. You can't…
