South Dakota Birds and Birding Devoted to Birds, Birding, and Photography |
I NEVER have any luck chasing individual birds, those unusual birds that aren't often found in South Dakota. The story usually goes...rare bird spotted...drive a long distance to see it...and it's not there, or not spotted. So, when someone reported a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher hanging out on the outskirts of Brookings, I didn't give it much thought. But then I had one free morning, and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. I had no idea these were such beautiful birds, so colorful. He hung out on a barbed wire fence, periodically dropping down to catch the rather sluggish grasshoppers and crickets in the grass below. Taken in October 2008 near Brookings, South Dakota.
