This morning members of the Sioux Falls Bird Club spent a beautiful morning at the Outdoor Campus, Wall Lake, and Dewey Gevik Conservation Area in Minnehaha County. In all, we found about 55 species, with a good variety of sparrows. There were surprisingly few birds of any kind at Wall Lake, but we found four LeConte’s Sparrows at Dewey Gevik, plus many Harris’s, White-throated, and Swamp Sparrows, a Fox Sparrow, many Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Marsh Wrens, and both a Sedge Wren and a Winter Wren.
Thanks to everyone who attended. Our next club field trip will be Saturday, November 2.
