Subject: [sd-birds] Whitewood and BF Reservoir |
We birded last week with Sheila W to North of Belle Fourche then the
East side of Orman Dam/Belle Fourche Reservoir. Lots of Eastern/Western
Kingbirds and Lark Buntings. In the Arpan area East of Orman migration
was evident with hundreds of Red-winged/Yellow-headed Blackbirds.Â
Raptor trip sightings included both Bald/Golden Eagles, Red-tailed
Hawks, and American Kestrels. Other sightings of interest included a
Great-horned Owl and Loggerhead Shrike. Thirty-five species for the trip.
At our home 1.5 miles south of Whitewood, we have had a few migrants
pass thru including Cordilleran Flycatcher, American Redstart, Ovenbird,
and Red-headed Woodpecker. The Western Tanager is still around and we
hear a Belted Kingfisher along Whitewood Creek. Mountain Bluebirds are
seen on Crook City Road. There are less sightings overall at the
feeders and it is not necessary to fill them daily.

Subject: [sd-birds] Purple Finch |
Yesterday, 23 August 2025, I noticed an immature Purple Finch in with 20 or so House Finches at my feeders. It continues today. This is the earliest Fall observation in my 12 seasons of consistent Purple Finch reports (942 observations) in my yard. Two other August observations were 27 August 2023 and 28 August 2014. Other earliest Fall yard sightings were September (2 years), October (4 years) and November (3 years). All of my August PUFI sightings were immatures.

Hello everyone,
In case you haven't heard, a Mississippi Kite family has been found in east Sioux Falls. It appears there is one fledgling on the nest. Attached are a couple of pictures. I am still trying to get pictures of the adults but they are pretty quick!

Is that the new code for Western Warbling Vireo?
Thas he committee’s report has several other changes, but the most important for our purposes is that Warbling Vireo was Split into Western and Eastern.
The map is from Sioux Falls native Nathan Pieplow.

Subject: [sd-birds] Range expansions |
The Mississippi kites in Sioux falls remind me of my time in Topeka Kansas.
Twenty years ago kites were unheard of there. Now they nest all over the
city. The same is true of red shouldered hawks. Used to be none and now
they are quite common in the area.
Also yellow crowned night herons were rare but now nest in residential
areas.
Hopefully the same happens in eastern South Dakota with all becoming more
abundant.
Ibises seen to also be expanding their range in South Dakota. It's
important for everyone to report what they are seeing because you never
know what will appear.

I watched bumbles at Russian sage and they were all two spotted bumble
bees. Important to have a variety of flowers. Agastache is very good. My
favorites are rocky mountain bee plant and buffalo bur. Zinnias are good
as is blanket flower.
Hummingbirds like red flowers but will use a variety.

I was at Hitchcock Park in Mitchell yesterday and saw the humming birds.
One looked bigger than others. Possible different species.
The park planted tons of a red salvia and red cannas.
Friend went later and said he saw about twenty.
Might be an exaggeration but they love the food sources.
I was looking for bumble bees and got a county record for hunts.

Subject: Re: [sd-birds] Osprey in NESD |
Combined records from the SDOU and ebird websites show that in Marshall County, there have been 16 Osprey observations reported in 13 of the 19 years from 2006 - 2025. Most of the reports were from the Roy Lake area plus other scattered locations. Roberts County has many sightings along Big Stone Lake (the Big Stone Power Plant hosts a couple of nesting platforms) and a few Osprey have been reported elsewhere in Roberts County. Day County has had many reports especially in the Enemy Swim and Waubay areas.  If it isn't entertaining enough watching an Osprey catch fish (believe me, it is), witnessing an ensuing chase by a Bald Eagle trying to steal its catch is worth double the price of admission!

Subject: [sd-birds] North of Whitewood and Feeders |
We birded Whitewood Valley, St. Onge and Sale Barn road, then returned
via NE of Spearfish and back home. Good weather and 32 species.Â
Eastern Kingbirds were the most plentiful bird and sighting. Raptors
included Sharp-shinned and Red Tailed Hawks and Kestrels.. Other
sightings of interest included numerous Sharp-tailed Grouse, Common
Nighthawk, Belted Kingfisher, Loggerhead Shrike, Western Kingbirds, Barn
and Tree Swallows, Marsh Wren, and Lark/White-crowned Sparrows.
We went to Wyoming to avoid the Motorcycle Rally and came back to empty
feeders at our home 1.5 miles south of Whitewood.. American
Goldfinches, Robins, Red Crossbills were present before we left but have
not returned. Most of the other summer regulars are back, but in
smaller numbers and we have fewer birds at the feeders. We see Mountain
Bluebirds along our walk on Crook City Rd. Our only new bird for August
was the American Redstart.

Subject: [sd-birds] 'new' state bird |
The American Ornithologists' Union has published their annual bird
checklist and South Dakota has gained a species. Warbling Vireo has been
split into two species - Eastern Warbling Vireo and Western Warbling Vireo.
Both breed in South Dakota. Western vireos are in the Black Hills,
generally above 5000', usually in mixed aspen/birch/pine areas. The rest of
the state has Eastern Warbling Vireos, where they generally are found in
cottonwood stands. Their songs are quite different; differences in
appearance are more subtle.

I was looking for bumble bees in letcher today and the home owner says,
look an owl.
There in front yard was a very sick barn owl. It was covered in flies. It
could walk but was not well.
He said every morning there is an owl perched in trees after pigeons. Makes
me wonder what owl hunts pigeons. Not a barn owl.
Attached is a picture of it. I'm guessing poison but who knows.

Subject: [sd-birds] Summer Season Reports |
Dear SD Birders,
Once again the Summer Season, 01 Jun - 31 Jul, has come and gone, hence, if you have not already done so it is now time to enter your sightings for the season into the online database located at
https://research.dsu.edu/sdousbor/default.aspx
On or about 21 August I will download the data for use in the upcoming Summer Season Report to be published in the December issue of South Dakota Bird Notes. As I am no longer compiling that report, it is extremely important that you enter your data by the deadline so that I can get the necessary information to the new compiler.
If you cannot recall your Observer ID and/or Password you can click on “Forgot Password” on the Login screen. Additionally, new observers are always welcome - simply go to the above site, click on Login / Register and select the "Register here:" link.
As always, any and all sightings are most welcome. The more, the better. At a minimum I would like for each species to have your
· First sighting during the first half (01 Jun - 30 Jun) of the season
· Last sighting during the first half (01 Jun - 30 Jun) of the season
· First sighting during the second half (01 Jul - 31 Jul) of the season
· Last sighting during the second half (01 Jul - 31 Jul) of the season
Thanks and have a great time birding this fall,
Jeffrey S. Palmer
