One was seen on our neighbors' property, about 700 yards from this location. ____________________________________________________________ Dying gets closer every day Lloyd McCarter and the Honky Tonk Revival

That is where they swat when chasing a deer to knock it off it's feet. I have seen one South of Gothenburg about 10 years ago. Crossed the road right in front of me while bird hunting. No mistaking the long tail.
