I left Arizona last week, and got delayed in New Mexico by a snowstorm, but I’m here now. On March 26, Kenny Miller found a Great Gray Owl on Laframboise Island near Pierre. I was hoping it would still be here and it was. My sister Sally and I both saw it this morning, thanks to Kenny. While I’ve seen many Great Gray Owls in northern Minnesota, and a few others in Montana and the Yukon, this is my first one in South Dakota. It is also a new bird for my Hughes County list. My South Dakota life list now stands at 375 species, Hughes County at 319.

Awesome photo. Glad it was still there
