Seriously? An Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush in South Dakota?

Normally I only write about birds I’ve seen, but an Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush in South Dakota is too unexpected to ignore.  Details from the finder can be found at http://nuttybirder.blogspot.com/.

I’m not sure if I’m more surprised that a Nightingale-Thrush is in South Dakota or that someone is actually birding in South Dakota.

I kid because I love.

    Seen any Gyrfalcons lately? Pretty easy to find in South Dakota in winter. There’s one reason why people bird here.
