Sounds like you may be right this year Kurt. With the storm not really impacting central ND too much it looks like they may pile up in ND and give you guys the finger this spring……

On rare occasions over the many years have seen them sitting on electric/telephone poles and fence posts.

We see them sitting in cottonwood trees in the river bottoms all the time. There was a nest up in a giant cottonwood near Stanton last spring.
