Hi Tweets,
On a recent trip to Eastern WA (Othello area, Potholes Reservoir area (briefly), and the Manastash Road to Audubon Road out in the direction of Wenas Campground, roughly), I encountered the following bird on a wire. I wasn't quite sure what it was. No doubt many of you will be able to readily identify it. I'm hoping so, for the help. :) I feel like I should know what this is, but it just wasn't coming to me with certainty.

Following is a terrible photograph (extremely blurry) but it does show the notched tail:http://www.flickr.com/photos/18600129 at N05/5977429522/
Thanks for the assist. I'll have more photos of the overall trip posted soon.
