Day 78

A couple of weekends ago I had a pretty good day down on the river.  I saw several species that I either hadn’t seen before, or were pretty rare.  This is a Tufted Duck in flight. (1/500s f/8.0 ISO200 300mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 76

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Ever wonder what happens to the railroad cars >>after<< a derailment?  They come here: (All photos taken with a Nikon Coolpx P7100) I don’t know which derailment these grain cars came from. Not a lot left that is usable, except as scrap.  Just stack them up like blocks! The only thing you won’t find here […]

Day 74: The Goat Lick Avalanche!

Friday, March 14, 2014

The snow came down the ravine and scoured the sides. (All photos taken with the Nikon Coolpix P7100) This is to the left side of the ravine.  You can often see Mountain Goats here.  They come of the salt and minerals in the rocks below the highway. All the snow went under the bridge, ending […]

Day 73
