Description: Hello, I took this picture on vacation a week or two ago in Idaho. My camera doesn't do weird things like this. I was wondering what you think. Can you zoom in, and see if this is anything? I was driving at the time, but like I said I have never seen my camera add anything. It is a camcorder actually, but it takes great pictures! (It uses no flash.) It is a Panasonic SDR-S7. Look at the top near the center, and in the tree branch. Let me know what you think, and ask me anything! I never saw anything there, but I was the one driving and taking the picture so I wasn't exactly examining the area. Thank you.

Additional Information Reported by Witness: I was on highway 3 about 20- 30 miles in a northerly direction from St. Maries (somewhere between Rose Lake, and St. Maries). I was in my car. I can't remember if the windows were down or up. I just thought it looked really odd, like it's lighting up.

Note: I really don't know the identity of this object. I appears to be between the camera and the tree and may not actually be on the tree. Is it a bird? I don't know of any birds of that color in northern Idaho.
