Subject: [sd-birds] Sabine's Gull, Orman dam |
This evening I found a juvenile Sabine's Gull at Orman dam. Although this
species often is a loner, this particular bird was with a bunch of
Ring-billed Gulls below the west-side entrance booth to the park. It is
right on schedule as they usually are around the 3rd week of September.
However there was almost nothing else at the reservoir.
There were quite a few shorebirds at the Belle Fourche sewage lagoons but
it was too dark to identify most of them.

Subject: [sd-birds] Weekend fall migration 9/15-16 |
This past weekend in Aberdeen, we had a large group of Chimney Swifts (the flying cigar!) of about 50 flying around near NSU. I assume they were migrating as we have Chimney Swifts in the area during the summer, but usually only a small group of 8 or so.
Also had a mixed group of warblers in the big American Elm tree the next yard over. Hard to identify as they don't stay still long, but I saw at least 3 distinct species hopping/flitting around. (They weren't any of the super obvious ones like Yellow Warbler or Yellow-Rumped...)
One had a distinctive call, wish I was better with sound ID of warblers, but just haven't take the initiative...
Also, the silent migration of gulls was in full swing the last couple of weeks. Amazing how you would never notice them passing through if you didn't look up...

Last night I had an interesting group of birds visit. A late-ish rufous hummingbird, a bunch of clay-colored sparrows, a Lincoln's sparrow, house wren, a flicker intergrade male, female western Tanager, yellow warbler, and a swamp sparrow. My garden is a veritable jungle with enough pigeon grass clumps for the sparrows.

Subject: [sd-birds] BBC 9/15/18 Outing Results |
Seven members of the Brookings Birding Club joined forces Saturday, Sept, 16 and set out on a half-day excursion to find migrating species at Oakwood Lakes State Park (Brookings Co) and Mickelson Marsh (Hamlin Co).
Though the majority of the 44 species of birds found were local commoners, a few notable delights brought agreement that the day was a great success.Â
The group walked 2 miles along the Mortimer Shoreline Trail and the paved road at Oakwood Lakes SP. The trail held a few pockets of sparrows and chickadees with possible warblers mixed in but the birds stayed high and were constantly flitting back and forth above us, hiding behind the foliage. A couple of flashes of yellow were just that - then gone.Â
Walking the paved roads often serves up the best in birding the parks, so we made that our return route. Our conversation had turned to the hunger pangs we were having from the aroma of hot dogs roasting on campfires, when a flutter of activity above and just ahead renewed our focus and our hopes. Soon, a bright, fresh-plumaged Blue-headed Vireo popped into a opening in the lower-level canopy just above us backed by bright blue sky. It moved repeatedly into and out of this spot to our great delight. Moments later, a Nashville Warbler busily worked the same area.
Mickelson Marsh water levels are too high for most shorebirds. There were still a lot of Franklin's Gulls, a few dabblers, a lone Long-billed Dowitcher and a lone White-faced Ibis. A scan of the northern shoreline revealed that the Trumpeter Swan is still about, standing on the same mound where I first saw it a few weeks ago. It was a new bird for some in the group!

I birded Sica Hollow State Park to the north side of Sand Lake on Friday 9/14.Â
Â
Sica Hollow was pretty slow there were two small warbler flocks one made up of Nashville Warblers and the other made up of Orange-crowned Warblers. The most unexpected bird as an Osprey circling above the park.
Roy Lake had 3 Common Loons and not much else.
Â
Around Hecla I got a flock of Long-billed Dowitchers. The other shorebirds present were both yellowlegs, snipe, killdeers, Pectoral Sandpipers, and a few Least Sandpipers.
Â
The best bird of the day was a Clark's Grebe along the north dike road at Sand Lake NWR.Â
Â
There were scattered Yellow-rumped Warblers throughout northern Brown County.

Lower Spring Creek Road, esp. the gravel section.
I've seen a Prairie Falcon and Cooper's Hawk near my yard in the past
week. I wish they'd settle into the valley here, learn to hunt
starlings. A fall flock of those has grown steadily in the past 20
years. I counted well over 100 today, hanging out on the powerline and
apparently enjoying some recently abandoned farmsteads nearby. They
are quite the aerial foragers over the open prairie, widely dispersed
and sailing light and agile as any bird, catching who knows what
insects 100 feet high and more.
I've had either or both Yellow & Wilson's Warbler in my yard the past
two weeks, as well as House Wren. Seven Gray Partridge have been
around my garden recently. They'd been rather quiet all summer.

near Big Bend Tailrace. Many White Pelicans and DC Cormorants. The over 100
Cattle Egret still on the Island.
Warblers etc.
The last 2-3 several people have seen a total of around 17 species of
warblers and 5 species of vireos on Farm Island. Apparently you have yo bird
in the morning and fight the zillion mosquito's. Check e-bird for Farm
Island lists.
On the Ft Pierre side of river far less warblers & mosquito's. In my yard
lately a few of Nashville, Wilson's and Orange-crowned Warblers. I also had
1 Veery and 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush along with a few Swainson's.
Gulls in Oahe Tailrace area Franklin's & Ring-billed maily. A few California

Subject: [sd-birds] Sunday in Harding /Perkins counties - Townsend's Warbler and more |
Sunday night was opening night of the 2018 fall owl-banding season at Slim
Buttes so I decided to make a day of it and go birding in the area.
The only warbler flock I found all day was at Shadehill's Ketterling Point
in Perkins Co., an excellent migrant trap. There were just 5 warblers - 3
were Yellow Warblers and one was a Nashville Warbler, an unusal find in
West River. I had long excellent looks at the fifth warbler, a Townsend's
Warbler, which is a very unusual find in South Dakota. At the Pasture 7
prairie dog town (along the road to Lemmon Lake), Sprague's Pipits and
Chestnut-collared Longspurs were still present but I did not find the
Burrowing Owl that usually is there.
In Harding Co., I briefly stopped in at the Reva Gap campground at Slim
Buttes. An immature Northern Goshawk let me admire it for several minutes
while it watched the American Robin activity all around it. White-throated
Swifts still are around the rock formations there.
The owl-banding season had an auspicious start as an elk bugled while we
were setting up the nets. Although the elk population in Harding Co. has
exploded in the past few years, I had never heard a bugle before. A Common
Poorwill called overhead as we waited for owls to arrive. We ended up
catching three juvenile Northern Saw-whet Owls.

Some notable birds: Osprey {carrying fish}, Broad-winged Hawk, Olive-sided Flycatchers, Swainson’s Thrush, Red-breasted Nuthatch, all 5 vireos including several Blue-headed Vireos and a Philadelphia Vireo. I tried to keep up with recording the amount, so this may be off a bit. We were lucky to see 11 species of warblers:
3 Orange-crowned Warbler
10 Nashville Warbler
1 Common Yellowthroat
2 American Redstart
3 Magnolia Warbler
1 Bay-breasted Warbler
3 Blackburnian Warbler
1 Yellow Warbler
2 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)
1 Black-throated Green Warbler
10 Wilson's Warbler
I had been hoping to see warblers and it was a great day of birding!

Subject: [sd-birds] Snipe fest and other birds on Tuesday |
Thinking that two days of north winds would bring in lots of migrants, I
did a lot of birding on Tuesday. It didn't really work out that way but I
still saw some nice birds.
Early in the day at Sevey's Lake in Meade Co., there were 31+ Wilson's
Snipe on a 50-yard stretch of mud on the north end. They were walking in
and out of the grass so there probably were more. Several miles farther
east, on W. Elm Springs Rd, ~2- Bobolinks were mixed in with a large black
bird flock in a millet field.
I spent a long time at Shadehill reservoir in Perkins Co. I found few birds
and only three verified migrants (Red-breasted Nuthatch, Ovenbird,
Swainson's Thrush) at this usually productive migrant trap. I did find a
Mourning Dove on a nest (doves routinely nest until the end of September).
There also were quite a lot of Swainson's Hawks in the area.
I had better luck at the Pasture 7 prairie dog town (Lemmon Lake Rd) on the
national grassland in Perkins Co. I found one Sprague's Pipit, which is
quite reliable at this location in the fall. There were quite a few
Chestnut-collared Longspurs, including two males chasing as if they were on
territory, and some very young birds. Same situation with Horned Larks.
Makes me suspect that these were local or semi-local birds rather than from
somewhere else.

There was a golden-winged warbler on Farm Island this morning amongst a decent flock of early season migrants including blackburnian, magnolia, Tennessee, Wilson's, and orange-crowned warblers (11 species) as well as blue-headed vireo.

Saturday morning nine observers found 52 species on a pleasant but smoky
morning. We started at Piedmont, followed Tilford Road and ended up at
Sevey's Lake on Elk Creek Road, all in Meade County. The route encompossed
town, pine and oak edges, grasslands, and wetlands. Surprises were a couple
of warblers in Piedmont, 7 raptor species, and mixed migrant sparrow
flocks.
The next Northern Hills Bird Club event is our monthly meeting on September
6th, at the Sturgis library beginning at 7pm. The program will be on
'Birdingf Trinidad and Tobago', presented by Ingrid Arlton and Larry Putnam.

Subject: [sd-birds] Least Tern Mickelson GPA Hamlin County |
While working on county ticks and an August big day, Scott Stolz and I found a least tern in the southeast corner of Mickelson GPA in Hamlin county along with many shorebirds, ducks, gulls and the continuing Trumpeter Swan that Cheryl Vallenga found. We started both Saturday and Sunday in dense fog and still ended up with 114 birds on Saturday and so far we have 117 birds today.
We had trouble finding warblers for the most part and only ended up with 12 species over 3 days with the highlight being Blackburnian in a couple places. We did end up seeing 14 species of shorebirds. We birded Grant, Deuel, Hamlin, Brookings, Kingsbury, Codington, Day and Brown counties.

The immature Little Blue Heron, first reported by Peter Hill a couple of

We finally had some Hummingbird activity with one Rufous during the day on 8/22. A second Hummingbird was seen 8/22 just before dark which we thought was a Ruby-throat, but it was pretty dark.
Tonight we had 20+ Common Nighthawks a little after 6 PM overhead then moving southeast.

Subject: [sd-birds] New yardbird: RBNU |
I have two pine trees at my place in NE Custer Co., and this morning
there was a Red-breasted Nuthatch foraging and calling there, my first
record for this species.
Last spring I counted up the yard birds I've had here over the years,
a surprisingly high total of about 135. The general area is mostly
grassland, a little farmland, and scattered homesteads with trees. My
trees are mostly shrubs--plums, chokecherries, lilacs--and a few
larger trees such as cottonwood and green ash. Conspicuously absent
from my list are bluebirds. Both Eastern and Mountain Bluebirds are
common migrants and breeders in the wider region, I've seen both in
spring migration within a few miles of my land, but never in my yard.
My yard list does include species I've seen or heard flying over, e.g.
both crane & yellowleg species, Whimbrel, Sprague's Pipit. Also birds
like Sora and A. Bittern that I've heard from a neighbor's pond just
over 1/4 mile to the south. I doubt there's any strict definition of
"yard bird" so I think detecting a species while I'm in my yard is
good enough.
I've had every sparrow species you could expect to find in this part
of western SD, including a Baird's which was singing in migration from
the grass just north of my trees.

Subject: [sd-birds] Little Blue Heron (juv.) - Oglala Lakota County |
I observed a juvenile Little Blue Heron at Oglala Dam this morning. Saw it from afar and thought it was a Snowy Egret (which are rare at the dam - don't think I've ever seen one there) and then got a nice, much closer look. Had the classic juvie LBH light gray lores & bill becoming black towards the tip, and dull gray-green legs. I know these are regular in eastern SD but rare this far west.
