Winter in Bozeman

There is not alot of snow in town.  Last week was gray and cloudy with the accumulation of an inch or 2.  Its been almost 2 weeks since the  "big"  snow of 4 inches.  Temperature has been plenty cold.  
     Over the holiday weekend I drove north and south to different locations.  I am starting to call this activity "winter walking"  and not Birding, because there are so few birds.  Magpies, always.  Sometimes a couple Chickadees, once I found a Red-breasted Nuthatch.  Monday I saw 2 Rough-legged Hawks.
     The top photo is of the Tobacco Root mountains with Missouri River in the mid-photo.  Below photo Missouri River at the headwaters, as it begins its journey east.                                                                                                                                   


The Madison River,  Gallatin River, and the Jefferson River have a confluence at this location.  Lewis and Clark named each of these rivers.  After the confluence, the Missouri begins its long journey .


Such a beautiful blue sky day, first in a long time.  This Bald Eagle just sat there, so I took its picture.
