And here's what makes winter fun in South Dakota. My favorite birding time and place in the state is heading to the middle of the state in the dead of winter to look for Gyrfalcons, as well as the scads of other raptors that are usually around. Click on the thumbnail for high-resolution photos. Click here for the species description page for the Gyrfalcon.
