I did see them once on the west side of the state, just north of grand rapids........several years ago. Wasn't sure what I was seeing, had to call my Dad and ask him LOL. Dad's been gone since '04, so it's been years. Breathtakiing describes them.

We've seen them ususally during winter w/out leaving our yard. go out behind pole barn by pit and watch them. AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! But would love to one day go further north and actually see them even closer, brighter, and maybe as good as what this picture is!
