Greetings from Spearfish, SD
Over the past couple weeks I have been able to do lots of birding throughout the Black Hills of South Dakota. I have also been lucky enough to have a few interesting birds pause for a picture-sometimes when I have my camera and also when I don't. I have seen a few birds that I haven't seen in the Black Hills before including Cassin's Finch and White-winged Crossbill. I have also seen some great mountain birds including Clark's Nutcracker, Gray Jay, and American Dipper. One of the biggest highlights though was finding a Black-backed Woodpecker nest hole, with the young yet to have fledged and an adult female in the next tree over.
