South Dakota Birding"Hotspot"

Newton Hills State Park

Photo Location#2 -- Grassland and Sumac

Adjacent to Sergeant Creek and the Horse camp area is a large open grassy space, ringed with thick sumac stands and forested slopes as you move to the hilly part of the park.  Eastern Kingbirds, Dickcissels, and other birds of open spaces can be found here.  Around the edges near Sergeant Creek, Whip-poor-wills are often heard, while American Woodcocks are seen and heard in numbers in the early spring.
