South Dakota Birds and Birding -- My Favorite Photos

The photos below are a mix of my personal favorites, for either the photo itself, or for the experience in getting the photo. Only requirements to make this page is that they have to be one of my favorites, and have to be of high-quality and resolution. As a rule, these photos should make very good prints.

A slide show of my "top 25" is directly below. Click on the images for even higher-resolution views and information. Additional "favorites" are found below the slide show. Click on the photo to view the higher-resolution version. The birds are (very) roughly in taxonomical order, as you'd find them in a field guide. Non-bird photos (landscape, other animals, etc.) are towards the bottom. Enjoy!!
