This bird was found on Sunday in Missoula and I was lucky enough to be heading this way for work this week. I looked for it a bit yesterday evening but it apparently disappears during most of the day to someplace other than the nearly empty irrigation ditch it was originally found in, but at least on Monday and again today it returns to this spot early in the morning. Within about 20 minutes it had slowly made it's way down the ditch with the Wood Ducks it is keeping company with and disappeared from view.

Holy Cow, great capture!
Wow - what a great find! I have never seen one of these before.
Super find, but put on your flak jacket -- the birders are on their way.
I was going to go back to look again this morning, but decided that I didn't want to bird with a crowd. It was already getting a bit nuts with just the MT folks!
