South Dakota Birding"Hotspot"

Big Sioux Recreation Area

Photo Location#5 -- West Side

The park on the west side of the river (reached through crossing a footbridge across the river) is primarily covered by open grassland, with scattered patches of trees and shrubs.  This is a good place to look for grassland species not found on the eastern side of the park.  There are a couple of wetter meadows where Sedge Wrens can be found.   This is one of the few spots near Sioux Falls where I have seen Short-eared Owls
