I was in your fair state Saturday and managed to bird below the Minnesota Valley NWR headquarters. I saw more Fox Sparrows there then I have ever seen at one location. At least 12.
Other birds of interest included Pileated Woodpecker Barred Owl Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2) Swamp Sparrow One of the advantages to being a NE South Dakotan is that I am not jaded by cardinals, which we do not have at home. On the way home, near Big Stone, we saw Tundra Swan and a Turkey Vulture Dan Tallman Aberdeen, SD -----Original Message----- From: Houghton, Timothy D.
