Hello all, I took the scenic route from Fargo to Redwood Falls this afternoon, stopping along the auto tour at Big Stone NWR. I found a total of 8 Plegadis ibis in the long wetland towards the east end of the tour loop. Other birds of note:
Red-headed woodpecker, female about 8 miles NW of Ortonville Black-crowned Night-Heron, 2 juveniles at BSNWR Greater Prairie-Chicken, 1 feeding along SH7 right at the Big Stone/Swift County line. It flushed from the Swift side and landed in Big Stone. Good birding to all. I'll probably see some of you at the LQP headquarters tomorrow evening.
