Hi Ed,
I thought I would forward this so you can pass this on to Chuck Trost(?). I'll
send any photos if I get any.

NEWS FLASH!

 So, whenever Neal and I go to Boise, we always stop at a county park (called
Beaver Dick (after some trapper)) just west of Rexburg on Hwy 33, along the
snake river. There are cottonwoods and other bushy habitat, along with a few
planted spruces.


 SO, yesterday at 4ish, we drive in and see a bird fly into the spruce next to
the road--I scream, "hawk owl!"


 Indeed, there we were in central Idaho, looking at a northern hawk owl (we had
just seen one in Canada and so its looks were fresh in our minds). I took about
50 pictures of it. Too bad about the bad lighting, but we did get a few good
shots when the sun poked thru the clouds.


    CRAZY!!!!

    cheers, ryneal
