Sharing on behalf of Peter Binstock - a mutual friend of ours shared photos of both adult and fledgling Long-eared Owls in their Sioux Falls yard from late last week. Peter was able to observe at least two fledglings during a visit, but it sounds like there were four of them.
I can’t find any documentation of them nesting east of the Missouri at all (Stanley, Hughes, Sully Counties seem to be the furthest), so this seemed noteworthy.
