This is my first post, although I've gotten to know a number of you. My dad & I birded Lac Qui Parle and Big Stone NWR yesterday. The highlights included: two Snowy Plovers (Big Stone), two Piping Plovers (one at the NWR, other at Salt Lake - dad missed both!), Red-necked Phalarope (Salt Lake), Grey Partridge (Swift County) and Eurasian Collared Doves (Madison).
However, whiffed on Loggerhead Shrikes, Blue Grosbeak, Greater Prairie Chicken and Great-tailed Grackles. Recently returned from a missions trip to France. Didn't get much time to bird, but enjoyed 25 life species including: Eurasian Hobby, Black Kite, White Wagtail and four species of tits. Thanks to all of you who shared locations of birds in Lac Qui Parle and Big Stone! Nathan Schirmacher _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find.
