Usually if you want to see Missouri River sandbar birds from the shore,you have to go to areas downstream of Yankton. But with the river being extremely low, a large sandbar has emerged near the north end of Mobridge. The other day it was loaded with birds, including four species of terns, three species of gulls, and a lot of Piping Plovers. If water levels remain low, this spot may be an interesting birding spot over the next few weeks.
If you go, note that one is looking west at the sandbar so mornings are probably better for viewing. And a spotting scope helps for bird ID.
