Swan Rangers saw a bit of sun and lots of clouds during their outings this past week!

In our lead photo, Chris Gotchalk and a snowshoe hare demonstrate that the best snow and sunniest sky are up high!
Pam Willison shows us some cloud layers over Flathead Lake while . . .
. . . Dani Mayberry caught a blue sky flipping back into a foggy inversion along the Swan Range!
Norma Linsky caught the sun peeking through and lighting up this nice winter stream scene!
Pat Jaquith shows us what a thorough job of managing insects a Black-backed woodpecker can do, . . .
. . . even if it has to debark the entire tree!

Pat Jaquith also found a House finch eating the fruit of a Hawthorne bush.
Linda Anderson found these "pistol-butt" trees, usually a sign of soils creeping slowing downhill or, on steeper slopes, the snow pack creeping downhill!
Keith Hammer found a clear spot in the sky and got a photo of a crescent moon waxing to be full the day after Christmas!
In our parting shot, Pam Willison shows us there is even a bright side to rain in mid-December!
