Most of the people live in -rural areas, because there are few cities of any size; even these are, for the -most part, widely scattered. The largest urban area (the tri-city area of -Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead, Minnesota) has a combined population -of under 120,000.</p> -<p>Most people visit North Dakota on their way to someplace else. They -rush through because of the lack of big cities and scenic areas. Although it -is true that much of the state is anything but scenic, there is great beauty -awaiting those who explore the prairie, the rolling, wooded hills of the Turtle -Mountains, or the rugged badlands along the Little Missouri River.</p> -<p>Over the years some of the greatest names in ornithology have visited -North Dakota on birding expeditions. At the head of the list is John James -Audubon, who made one of his last painting-and-collecting expeditions -here in 1843. The most celebrated birder ever to visit the state, though, has -to be our twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt.</p> -<p>Roosevelt established a large cattle-ranching enterprise in the Little -Missouri badlands in 1883. In doing so he established two ranches: the -Maltese Cross Ranch (about seven miles south of Medora) and the Elkhorn -Ranch (about thirty-five miles north of Medora). Although not an ornithologist -in the strictest sense of the word, Roosevelt kept written records of his -bird sightings in the badlands. These records represent some of his most -colorful and interesting writings.</p> -<h3>HABITATS AND TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES</h3> -<p>Much of the topography of North Dakota can be traced to the effects of -Wisconsin-age glaciation, particularly in the north and east. Large portions -of these glaciated areas are peppered by countless ponds and lakes. A -frightening number have been drained; nevertheless, these wetlands constitute -one of the most important waterfowl production areas in the -country.</p> -<p>Although North Dakota cannot boast of large mountain ranges like -the states farther west, it is anything but a flat, monotonous state. Much of -the state is characterized by gently rolling prairie. More noticeable hills -and escarpments may be found in the Turtle Mountains, Pembina Hills, on -the south side of Devils Lake, and along stretches of several rivers (notably -the Missouri). Further, beach lines and sandhills left over from the last -ice age provide a somewhat local variation to the level topography of some -areas. The most rugged terrain occurs in the Little Missouri badlands, -which are characterized by numerous steep slopes, severely eroded buttes, -and arroyos.</p> -<p>A large percentage of the state is occupied by agricultural land. This -category includes not only actively farmed land, but also retired croplands, -<span class="pb" id="Page_8">8</span> -domestic hayfields, fence rows, wood lots (referred to as tree claims), -shelterbelts, orchards, and farmyards. While many of these areas are -almost devoid of wildlife, others provide suitable habitat for a number -of species.</p> -<p>Mixed-grass prairie is the predominant natural habitat, and it supports -the largest numbers of many of the prairie specialties which nest in -the state. Both tall-grass prairie and short-grass prairie also exist locally.</p> -<p>A prairie habitat which is quite limited in the state is the sage-prairie -found in the southwest corner (primarily in the western portions of Bowman -and Slope Counties). Xeric in character, it is composed mostly of buffalo -and blue grama grasses peppered with sage flats and clumps of -prickly pear cactus.</p> -<p>Many prairie areas are punctuated by woody thickets, which host a -number of species that are characteristic of woodland-edge habitats. These -thickets are composed mostly of large shrubs (wolfberry and silverberry -are commonly found) in combination with a few small trees.</p> -<p>Wetlands occupy a major position on the list of habitats. Several -types, ranging from seasonal ponds and prairie marshes to permanent -wood-bordered lakes, are found here. Prairie wetlands are scattered -throughout the state, but are concentrated most densely in a broad belt -through the central and east-central portions. Permanent wood-bordered -ponds and lakes are mostly restricted to the Turtle Mountains.</p> -<p>Often associated with prairie wetlands are extensive wet meadows. -These are of primary interest to the birder because they support large -numbers of desired species such as Yellow Rail, Willow Flycatcher, Sedge -Wren, and Le Conte’s and Sharp-tailed Sparrows.</p> -<p>There are also several large alkaline lakes. Because of the high salinity -of the water and the adjacent salt flats, no emergent plants are found, -so they are not characterized by large numbers of breeding birds. They do -serve as excellent attractions to migrant shorebirds.</p> -<p>Very little of North Dakota is occupied by forest habitat, although it is -locally well-represented. Much of it is found in the form of floodplain -forests along the Red, James, Sheyenne, Souris, Missouri, and Little Missouri -Rivers and their tributaries. In the west the floodplain forests are -dominated, for the most part, by cottonwoods (as is true along large portions -of the Missouri and Little Missouri Rivers) and have a more open -canopy and understory than those of the eastern streams.</p> -<p>In the east bottomland forests are represented by a more diverse plant -community. Among the more common trees are American elm, bur oak, -green ash, basswood, and box elder.</p> -<p>Tracts of upland deciduous forest can be found locally throughout the -state. In the southern and western portions, these are largely restricted to -buttes and bluffs overlooking various rivers. Bur oak, green ash, and quaking -<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span> -aspen are usually the most representative trees. (A good example can -be found at Little Missouri State Park in <a class="nform" href="#cnty_Dunn">Dunn</a> County.)</p> -<p>Upland deciduous forests also occur in the northeast. The best examples -are in the Pembina Hills of <a class="nform" href="#cnty_Pembina">Pembina</a> and <a class="nform" href="#cnty_Cavalier">Cavalier</a> Counties. Smaller -tracts can be found on hills and bluffs overlooking many of the larger -lakes such as those around the shores of Devils Lake and Stump Lake. Predominant -trees include bur oak, American elm, quaking aspen, green ash, -box elder, and birch. The well-forested Turtle Mountains are dominated for -the most part by quaking aspen.</p> -<p>Small groves of evergreen forests dot the slopes and draws of the Little -Missouri badlands. These are represented by various species of junipers -and by ponderosa pine.</p> -<p>In addition to the natural habitats there are several artificial ones. -Agricultural areas, the largest group, have already been mentioned. Others -are urban areas—landscaped yards, gardens, golf courses, city parks, -cemeteries, and the almost-sterile downtown streets. Stock ponds, reservoirs, -and drainage ditches also constitute artificial environments. An -interesting man-made habitat (at least from the birder’s view) is the -municipal sewage ponds. These often attract an incredible array of waterfowl -and shorebirds and make excellent birding spots for anyone who can -put up with the smell.</p> -<h3>BACKGROUND ON THE BIRDS</h3> -<p>A few years ago the American Birding Association surveyed its -members to determine the 50 “most-wanted” species in North America. Of -these, 9 are to be expected in North Dakota. In decreasing order of priority -they are: Yellow Rail, Snowy Owl, Connecticut Warbler, Bohemian Waxwing, -Baird’s Sparrow, Northern Goshawk, Sprague’s Pipit, Hoary Redpoll, -and Smith’s Longspur. An additional 6 are on the current state list -but are very rare and seldom seen: Boreal Owl, Great Gray Owl, Gyrfalcon, -Hawk Owl, Black-backed Three-toed Woodpecker, and Eurasian Wigeon.</p> -<p>For the most part, North Dakota has an eastern avifauna which -blends almost imperceptibly into a more western one in the extreme western -part of the state. The blend zone is most apparent in the vicinity of Bismarck -in the south-central part of the state. Here the ranges of Indigo and -Lazuli Buntings and Rose-breasted and Black-headed Grosbeaks overlap, -and the birder may see some interesting hybrids.</p> -<p>With few exceptions, the birds of the eastern half (especially along the -Red, James, and Sheyenne Rivers) are the same species found in similar -habitats throughout eastern North America. East begins to give way to -West biologically in the central part. Here, the birder begins to notice the -western species such as Ferruginous and Swainson’s Hawks, Yellow-headed -Blackbird, Lark Bunting, and Chestnut-collared Longspur.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_10">10</div> -<p>By the time one reaches the badlands on the western edge, it is the -eastern birds which are unusual. Here, there is an abundance of western -species, including Golden Eagle, Prairie Falcon, Sage Grouse, Burrowing -Owl, the red-shafted race of the Common Flicker, Say’s Phoebe, Black-billed -Magpie, Rock Wren, Mountain Bluebird, Lazuli Bunting, Black-headed -Grosbeak, the spotted race of the Rufous-sided Towhee, Brewer’s -Sparrow, and McCown’s Longspur.</p> -<p>Although the breeding birds may vary considerably from one part of -the state to the next, winter species are fairly uniform throughout. Comparatively -few birds stick out the North Dakota winters. Extremely cold -temperatures, little cover, and little open water combine to make this a -somewhat poor state for winter birding. The following species can usually -be found: Rough-legged Hawk; Golden Eagle; Sharp-tailed Grouse; Ringnecked -Pheasant; Gray Partridge; Great Horned, Snowy, and Short-eared -Owls; Mourning Dove; Common Flicker; Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers; -Horned Lark; Black-billed Magpie; American Crow; Blue Jay; Black-capped -Chickadee; White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches; American -Robin; Bohemian and Cedar Waxwings; Northern Shrike; European -Starling; House Sparrow; Western Meadowlark; Red-winged and Rusty -Blackbirds; Evening and Pine Grosbeaks; Purple Finch; Hoary and Common -Redpolls; Pine Siskin; American Goldfinch; Red Crossbill; Northern -Junco (slate-colored race); Lapland Longspur; and Snow Bunting.</p> -<h3>WHEN TO COME</h3> -<p>The seasons are defined by the following dates: Spring—April 1 to -May 31, Summer—June 1 to August 15, Fall—August 16 to November 20, -and Winter—November 21 to March 31.</p> -<p>Most birders will be interested in breeding populations of marsh and -prairie species. For these it would be best to come in June, preferably during -the first three weeks.</p> -<p>For migration, the timing depends on specifics. Warblers generally -peak about the third week of May and again in mid-September. For waterfowl -April and October are probably best. Shorebirds are usually good anytime -from late April to late October, but the first two weeks of May and the -months of August and September are the most consistent. Shorebirding -can be the most productive kind of birding in July and August.</p> -<p>Few people come to North Dakota in winter for the purpose of birding, -but perhaps more should. Although not abundant, many of the regular -winter birds make good additions to the list. Several northern species that -are uncommon over the rest of the United States are often relatively easy -to find here. This is also the time when the birder can add the most to our -knowledge of North Dakota’s birds. There are relatively few good birders -in the state, and many do not get out in winter as often as they should. -Who knows? You may turn up something extra good, such as a Gyrfalcon -or a Boreal Owl. For the northern owls come after January, when the birds -<span class="pb" id="Page_11">11</span> -have been pushed south by the colder weather.</p> -<h3>WEATHER</h3> -<p>North Dakota is a state of extremes when it comes to weather. To say -that the winters are cold would be a gross understatement. Wind-chill factors -commonly reach 50° below zero. (It is not wise to wander far from your -car in such weather. Remember, also, never to sit for any period of time in -your parked car with the heater on and the engine idling. Carbon monoxide -poisoning takes many lives each year in the upper Midwest.) The winters -are long in this part of the country, and just when you think one is -over, along comes another March or April blizzard. As a rule the weather -in spring and fall is pleasant, but be prepared for cold temperatures at all -times. Summer is an altogether different story. Summer temperatures are -often in the 80’s and 90’s, and it doesn’t cool off very much at night. -Summer days and nights are often rather humid. Combined with the high -temperatures, the high humidity can make you feel very uncomfortable.</p> -<p>At times the wind never seems to quit blowing (especially in the winter), -and summer storms can come up fast. Remember, North Dakota is one -of the states occupying the tornado belt. If violent weather hits, head for -shelter immediately. Do not let all of this scare you off; most Dakotans -have been easily surviving such weather for years.</p> -<h3>WHAT TO BRING</h3> -<p>Dress is informal in this rural state. Levis are the rule rather than the -exception. When birding in spring and fall, carry a warm jacket because -the temperature can drop in a hurry. As for winter dress, there is not much -to say other than “get the warmest clothes and foot-gear possible.” It is -next to impossible to overdress for Dakota winters. Other things that could -come in handy in winter are: 1) a shovel (especially if you intend to drive -the back roads), 2) studded tires, 3) booster cables, and 4) a lighter-weight -motor oil for better cold-weather starts. Make sure to winterize your radiator -to at least -30°, and keep more anti-freeze on hand; you may need it.</p> -<p>As a final suggestion, if you own a spotting scope by all means bring -it. There are certainly few activities more frustrating than trying to identify -shorebirds on a distant mud-flat with nothing more than binoculars. A -scope can also come in handy for viewing some of the more elusive prairie -sparrows.</p> -<h3>PESTS</h3> -<p>There are plenty of biting insects around, and the mosquitoes can be -downright obnoxious at times (especially if you are sleeping outside). -Carry some kind of insect repellent (except in winter). Liquid repellents -seem to last longer than sprays.</p> -<p>Watch for ticks in brushy areas. No matter how hard you try you will -probably get some anyway. Never pull one off. The proboscis usually -<span class="pb" id="Page_12">12</span> -breaks, whereupon infection may occur. They are best removed by applying -rubbing alcohol (Some of the more obnoxious ticks seem to get -“bombed” and then hang on for dear life.) or a hot instrument such as a -recently burnt match.</p> -<p>Rattlesnakes do occur in the western part (particularly in the badlands), -although you would be doing well to see one.</p> -<h3>WHERE TO STAY</h3> -<p>The larger towns have many motels, especially along the interstates. -There should be no problem in Bismarck-Mandan, Dickinson, Devils Lake, -Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Minot, Valley City, and Williston. These -towns are distributed rather evenly over the state. Most of the smaller -towns have at least one motel, but try to arrive early. Motels fill quickly in -summer.</p> -<p>Campers will find plenty of spots. In addition to the commercial campgrounds, -most of the state parks offer camp sites, and some are free. Both -units of the Roosevelt Memorial have good campgrounds.</p> -<p>Following is a list of the state parks:</p> -<dl class="undent"><dt>Fort Lincoln—all facilities, birding fair</dt> -<dt>Lake Metigoshe—all facilities, birding excellent</dt> -<dt>Lake Sakakawea—all facilities, little birding</dt> -<dt>Turtle River—all facilities, birding good</dt> -<dt>Beaver Lake—all facilities, birding fair</dt> -<dt>Butte View—all facilities, little birding</dt> -<dt>Fort Stevenson—all facilities, little birding</dt> -<dt>Icelandic—all facilities, birding good</dt> -<dt>Doyle Memorial—fireplaces, tables, water, little birding</dt> -<dt>Little Missouri Bay—fireplaces, tables, water, birding good</dt> -<dt>Streeter Memorial—fireplaces, tables, water, little birding</dt> -<dt>Sully’s Creek—fireplaces, tables, water, birding good</dt></dl> -<h3>SOME RECOMMENDED MATERIALS</h3> -<dl class="undent"><dt>1. <i>Checklist of Birds in North Dakota</i>—free—Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Box 1747, Jamestown, ND 58401.

An effort is made to list several good areas in different -parts of the state, if possible, for each of the more sought-after species. The -best spots are shown in bold-faced type. If you are in a hurry, stop only -at these places.</p> -<p>Because of the large area, the state is split into four regions—Southeast, -Southwest, Northwest, and Northeast. The regions are of approximately -equal size and are divided, for the most part, along county lines -without regard for habitat. A minimal time of 2 weeks is suggested to cover -the entire state. Even then you will leave knowing that you have missed a -lot.</p> -<p>In North Dakota the best shorebird spot is often not one mentioned, -but rather a flooded field, which will be great one week and dry the next. In -addition many species change their locations from year to year because of -inconsistent water levels. It would be wise to check with refuge managers -and local birders for up-to-the-minute information on desired species. The -names and addresses of local birders can be obtained by checking the -<i>Christmas Bird Count</i> for the local compiler or by consulting the <i>American -Birding Association Directory</i> ($5.00—ABA Sales, Box 4335, Austin, TX -78765).</p> -<h3>NOMENCLATURE</h3> -<p>In 1973 the American Ornithologists Union (A.O.U.) published a supplement -to its <i>Checklist of North American Birds</i>. This changed the current -names and taxonomic status of many species. A number of birders -have been in an uproar ever since, because many former species are -dropped to sub-specific rank. The A.O.U. has further revised the checklist, -with the promise of even more changes in the future. In addition, the -<span class="pb" id="Page_14">14</span> -American Birding Association published its own <i>A.B.A. Checklist (Birds -of Continental United States and Canada</i>) in 1975. This follows the taxonomic -order used by the A.O.U. but incorporates some entirely different -names. Because the A.B.A. is the official “listing” organization, its nomenclature -is followed in this book. However, some of the field guides currently -in use do not yet reflect these name changes. The old names affecting -North Dakota birds are included parenthetically below to avoid confusion -for the beginner.</p> -<dl class="undent"><dt>American White Pelican (White Pelican)</dt> -<dt>Great Egret (Common Egret)</dt> -<dt>Greater White-fronted Goose (White-fronted)</dt> -<dt>Snow Goose (both Snow and Blue)</dt> -<dt>American Black Duck (Black Duck)</dt> -<dt>Common Pintail (Pintail)</dt> -<dt>Eurasian Wigeon (European)</dt> -<dt>American Wigeon (Widgeon)</dt> -<dt>Northern Shoveler (Shoveler)</dt> -<dt>Black Scoter (Common Scoter)</dt> -<dt>Red-tailed Hawk (includes Harlan’s Hawk)</dt> -<dt>Northern Harrier (Marsh Hawk)</dt> -<dt>Merlin (Pigeon Hawk)</dt> -<dt>American Kestrel (Sparrow Hawk)</dt> -<dt>Lesser Golden Plover (American Golden Plover)</dt> -<dt>Upland Sandpiper (Upland Plover)</dt> -<dt>Red Knot (Knot)</dt> -<dt>Little Tern (Least Tern)</dt> -<dt>Common Screech-Owl (Screech Owl)</dt> -<dt>Common Flicker (combines Gilded, Yellow-shafted, and Red-shafted)</dt> -<dt>Willow Flycatcher (Traill’s, FITZ-bew race)</dt> -<dt>Alder Flycatcher (Traill’s, fee-BEE-o-race)</dt> -<dt>Eastern Pewee (Eastern Wood Pewee)</dt> -<dt>Western Pewee (Western Wood Pewee)</dt> -<dt>American Crow (Common Crow)</dt> -<dt>Marsh Wren (Long-billed Marsh Wren)</dt> -<dt>Sedge Wren (Short-billed Marsh Wren)</dt> -<dt>Gray Catbird (Catbird)</dt> -<dt>American Robin (Robin)</dt> -<dt>European Starling (Starling)</dt> -<dt>Northern Parula (Parula Warbler)</dt> -<dt>Yellow-rumped Warbler (combines Audubon’s and Myrtle)</dt> -<dt>Common Yellowthroat (Yellowthroat)</dt> -<dt>Northern Oriole (combines Baltimore and Bullock’s)</dt> -<dt>Northern Cardinal (Cardinal)</dt> -<dt>Northern Junco (combines Oregon, Slate-colored, and White-winged)</dt> -<dt>American Tree Sparrow (Tree Sparrow)</dt></dl> -<div class="pb" id="Page_15">15</div> -<h2 id="c3">SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA</h2> -<div class="img" id="fig2"> -<img src="images/p01.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="332" /> -<p class="pcap">Ruddy Ducks</p> -</div> -<p>The southeast sector is probably the least glamorous as far as birders -are concerned. It cannot offer the western specialties of the southwest nor -the northern species of the northeast, and it does not have the reputation -of the northwest for prairie species. Despite these deficits, the southeast -quarter offers some of the best birding in the state.</p> -<p>Contained within its boundaries is some of the finest prairie-pothole -habitat in the country. This is the breeding ground for thousands of ducks -and other marsh species. Adjacent to the countless seasonal and permanent -ponds are broad expanses of mixed-grass prairie, which support large -numbers of Upland Sandpipers, Sprague’s Pipits, Baird’s Sparrows, -Chestnut-collared Longspurs, and other prairie specialities of great interest -to the birder.</p> -<p>This quarter also offers excellent bottomland habitat along portions of -the Red, James, and Sheyenne Rivers. These floodplain forests support an -avifauna typical of eastern deciduous forests, thus making it attractive to -western birders. Large numbers of eastern warblers pass through during -migration, and on good days one may find as many as twenty species (possibly -more).</p> -<p>Marshlands in the southeast corner attract southern species, such as -the Little Blue Heron and King Rail. All in all, the southeast sector offers a -very diverse avifauna, and it should not be ignored by the visiting birder.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_16">16</div> -<h3>a) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Cass">Cass</a> County</h3> -<div class="img" id="fig3"> -<img src="images/p02.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="501" /> -<p class="pcap">FARGO</p> -</div> -<p>The city of Fargo (population -53,000—largest in North Dakota) lies -in the highly agricultural Red River -Valley and is separated from Minnesota -only by the river. Birds found -here are basically eastern in nature.</p> -<p>The Red River and its adjacent -woodlands act as a funnel for migrating -passerines and provide food and -cover in winter for the few species -which decide to stick out the long -period of cold weather. Because of this, -wooded areas along the river are the -most productive spots.</p> -<p>Probably the best place along the river is <b>Lindenwood Park</b>, which -can be reached in several ways. Coming from the east, take Interstate 94 -west from Moorhead, Minnesota. Turn right on the first exit after crossing -into North Dakota. This leads onto South University Drive. Stay in the far -right lane and turn right at the first signal light onto 18th Avenue South. -Go one block to the park entrance.</p> -<p>Beyond the entrance, the road forks. The right leads through the park. -The left (South Lindenwood Drive) follows the river for 0.8 mile and is usually -better for birding, because it is less crowded and has a greater edge -effect. South Lindenwood Drive is bordered in part on the left by a large -grassy triangle and on the right by a good variety of trees and shrubs -along the river.</p> -<p>Close to 175 species have been recorded here in the past ten years. -Most of the birds are characteristic of the eastern deciduous forest. Exceptions -include the Western Kingbird, Bobolink, Clay-colored Sparrow, and -Savannah Sparrow. All of these can often be seen from May to July in the -grassy triangle. In July the vegetation is cut, and the birds leave.</p> -<p>In migration the park is a mecca for flycatchers, thrushes, vireos, -warblers, and sparrows. All of the eastern <i>Empidonax</i> flycatchers (except -the Acadian) can be found regularly, as can the Olive-sided Flycatcher and -Eastern Phoebe. All of the spot-breasted thrushes except the Wood Thrush -may be seen in good numbers every spring, and even it manages to put in -an appearance each year. Five species of vireos can be seen in spring, the -best of which is the Philadelphia Vireo. Also occurring with regularity are -twenty species of warblers, including Orange-crowned, Cape May, Bay-breasted, -and Connecticut.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_17">17</div> -<p>Of all the fringillids using the park in migration, the most sought-after -is the Harris’ Sparrow. Fargo lies in its relatively narrow migratory range. -It may be seen (both spring and fall) in good numbers at all parks in the -area.</p> -<p>The following breeding species are shared with most other parks and -wooded habitats in the area: Wood Duck; Black-billed Cuckoo; Mourning -Dove; Great Horned Owl; Common Flicker; Red-headed, Hairy, and -Downy Woodpeckers; Great Crested and Least Flycatchers; Eastern -Pewee; American Crow; Blue Jay; Black-capped Chickadee; White-breasted -Nuthatch; House Wren; Gray Catbird; Brown Thrasher; Cedar -Waxwing; Yellow-throated, Red-eyed, and Warbling Vireos; Yellow -Warbler; Northern Oriole; Rose-breasted Grosbeak; Indigo Bunting; and -Chipping and Song Sparrows.</p> -<p>In winter check for owls, waxwings (Bohemian is common some winters), -grosbeaks (mainly Evening but some Pine), siskins, and crossbills -(both species).</p> -<p>Another productive location is the Riverside Cemetery. To get there -from Lindenwood Park turn left back onto 5th Street South. Go south for -about three blocks to the cemetery on the left. Although it attracts nowhere -near the number of birds that Lindenwood does, you are never bothered by -crowds of people, and it can be good in migration for warblers and -thrushes. Things are usually pretty dead in summer, but in winters when -there is an eruption of northern finches the cemetery is good for Red Crossbills, -Pine Siskins, and Pine Grosbeaks.</p> -<p>Oak Grove Park has essentially the same avifauna as Lindenwood -Park. To reach it from Lindenwood, turn right (north) on 5th Street South -and right on 13th Avenue South at the water treatment plant. Turn left on -4th Street South and go several blocks until you come to the YMCA, on the -left. Turn right at the signal light, and follow the road as it bends around -the river. Continue under the railroad tracks and past the civic center on -Second Street North. Take the first right after the Shakey’s Pizza House -(left side). There should be a sign pointing the way to Oak Grove High -School. After a few blocks the street becomes South Terrace, which leads to -the park just beyond the school gymnasium.</p> -<p>Most of the birds will be the same as those seen at Lindenwood, -although three species—the Common Screech-Owl, Pileated Woodpecker, -and Northern Cardinal—are more easily found here. The owl (seldom -seen) is most often heard calling on summer evenings from the trees across -the river from the athletic field. The woodpecker, which ranges widely -along the river in winter, has nested in the immediate vicinity in recent -years. The Northern Cardinal can be seen almost anywhere along the -river in winter (usually at feeding stations), but it is seen here more than -anywhere else during spring and summer. The Wood Duck and Spotted -Sandpiper seem to prefer this undisturbed stretch of the river.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_18">18</div> -<p>Another good spot is not far from Oak Grove. From the park backtrack -on South Terrace and turn right on the first street beyond Fossom Hall, or, -if you wish, on the alley just behind it. Turn left on North Terrace, and, -when the street forks, go right on North River Road, which ends at Mickelson -Field. Most of this area has been converted into ball diamonds, but -there is still a strip of trees following the river which can be productive on -early mornings in migration. Walking is easy on the bike trail, so a good -stretch of the river can be readily covered. In the early evening listen for -the Common Screech-Owl, and keep an eye out for Common Nighthawks -and Chimney Swifts cruising over the ball diamonds. Along the open -stretch of the river, look for both Eastern and Western Kingbirds. Check -the banks closely for Wood Duck broods and Spotted Sandpipers. Dead -snags hanging over the water are favorite perches of Belted Kingfishers -and flycatchers.</p> -<p>Try walking north along the river to the dam. There is always some -open water which attracts over-wintering waterfowl, including an occasional -Common Goldeneye. Winter birds here are typical of the ones found -along the Red River in the Fargo area—Great Horned Owl; Pileated, -Hairy, and Downy Woodpeckers; Common Flicker; American Crow; Blue -Jay; Black-capped Chickadee; White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches; -Brown Creeper; Cedar and Bohemian Waxwings; Northern Cardinal; -Evening and Pine Grosbeaks; Purple Finch; American Goldfinch; -Pine Siskin; Red and White-winged Crossbills; Northern Junco; and -White-throated Sparrow.</p> -<p>Keep in mind that although some birds are often easy to find in winter, -their abundance varies drastically from year to year. The resident birds -are fairly stable, but winter visitors, such as the waxwings and finches, -may be everywhere one year and nowhere the next. Keep an eye out for -feeders, which are often the best places to find the northern finches. If you -have time for only one spot in spring, summer, or fall, your best bet is Lindenwood -Park. Under similar conditions in winter try the Riverside -Cemetery.</p> -<p>If you still have not found a Bohemian Waxwing, try driving through -the residential areas, keeping your eyes trained on the tops of bare trees -and on the ground near berry bushes. (It might also be wise to watch the -road from time to time.) The waxwings are especially fond of crab-apples -and highbush cranberries. This bird is very erratic, but in years when it is -common it can be found almost anywhere. Your first look may be of a -group of 20 or more perched high in a tree.</p> -<p>There should be no problem in separating this species from the Cedar -Waxwing, which is smaller and yellower in color. A good field mark for the -Bohemian is the reddish under-tail coverts. In flight the waxwings give a -Starling-like appearance.</p> -<p>If you are here in winter and need a respite from the cold, hop into your -car and try some open-country birding. Some good birds may be found -<span class="pb" id="Page_19">19</span> -without leaving the warmth of the car. Using this technique, you will -really have to explore on your own. Take any of the main roads out of -Fargo, and go wherever the habitat and the plowed roads lead you. One -area in general that is usually pretty good can be reached by going south -on I-29 for about 6.0 miles from I-94. Then go about three miles west to the -town of Horace, and work your way south and west from there.</p> -<p>A word of caution should be heeded before setting out on back roads. -Snow and mud, which may prevail from December through early April, -can make these roads unfit for travel, especially for a large vehicle such as -a motor home. Many roads are little traveled, and help may be a long time -in coming. Being stranded in a North Dakota snowstorm is no joke.</p> -<p>Birding country roads can be productive from September through -April. At the right time in fall, hawks may be everywhere. On some days in -late September, every other post seems to have a hawk on it. Most will be -Red-tails and Northern Harriers, but watch for Swainson’s and Ferruginous. -If you are really living right, you may even turn up a Peregrine Falcon. -In September and October the fence lines, ditches, and sloughs may -hold a variety of sparrows, such as Savannah, Vesper, Field, American -Tree, Lincoln’s, White-throated, and Harris’. In October and November, -and again in March and April, watch for longspurs, which occur by the -thousands in some fields (look especially around marshy areas in fall). -Check carefully for a Smith’s or a Chestnut-collared, although the vast -majority will be Laplands. Two other birds to look for in October and -November are the Rough-legged Hawk and Short-eared Owl. A few of each -usually winter, but most occur only as late migrants. The owl is somewhat -diurnal and is often seen cruising over the fields like a large, tawny moth.</p> -<p>Few species are found in the open areas in winter, but the ones present -are pretty choice. Large flocks of Snow Buntings will usually be the most -conspicuous birds. Buntings and Horned Larks often feed right along the -road. American Goldfinches and Common Redpolls are often abundant in -weed-filled ditches or in sunflower fields. Check redpoll flocks closely for a -Hoary, which is uncommon, but in good years not especially hard to find.</p> -<p>Color in redpolls varies, so a light-colored bird does not always signify -a Hoary. The best field mark is the unstreaked, white rump. Fortunately, -this species has a habit of holding the wings in such a way that the rump -can be clearly seen.</p> -<p>Gray Partridge are often found in small flocks in the fields. At a distance -they look like large clumps of dirt against the white snow. Rusty -Blackbirds are sometimes encountered around farms.

Turn right on Cass County Road #31 -and go past the airport.</p> -<p>At County Road #20 jog left for 0.3 mile, and continue right again on -County Road #31 (gravel surface). Drive 2.5 miles and stop on the right at -the home of Art Lies. Ask for the key to the gate at the lagoons. Make sure -to explain that you are a birder, because illegal shooting has occurred in -the past. Art is a birder and will be able to tip you off to any rare visitors at -the lagoons.</p> -<p>From the house go a mile straight down the road, watching and listening -for Western Kingbirds, Dickcissels, and Clay-colored and Savannah -Sparrows. When the road winds to the right, continue straight at the yield -sign. The dikes on your left can be driven, so continue to the gate, drive -through, and make sure to reclose the lock.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_21">21</div> -<p>There are six lagoons, and the bird life is different at each. Because the -water levels are constantly changed and controlled, this area is especially -productive during dry summers when the potholes in the area dry up. -Check the ponds with low water levels for shorebirds, pipits, and -longspurs.</p> -<p>Twenty-seven species of shorebirds have been found; most are typical -of similar habitat throughout the area—American Avocet; Lesser Golden -Plover (peak numbers have reached 6500 in late September); Black-bellied -Plover; Semipalmated Plover; Killdeer; Ruddy Turnstone; Marbled Godwit; -Willet; Red Knot; Dunlin; Sanderling; Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs; -Short-billed and Long-billed Dowitchers; Solitary, Spotted, Stilt (often in -large numbers), Pectoral, Baird’s, Least, White-rumped, Semipalmated, -and Western (uncommon) Sandpipers; Common Snipe; and Northern and -Wilson’s Phalaropes.</p> -<p>Both Sprague’s and Water Pipits occur in migration (most commonly -in fall and mostly in October). The latter species is much more common. -Longspurs appear by the thousands in October, especially in the fields and -ditches surrounding the lagoons. Although the majority will be Laplands, -check carefully for Smith’s and Chestnut-collared. Snow Buntings can -often be found by driving the dikes in November.</p> -<p>The ponds with deeper water are the ones to check for ducks and -grebes. Large concentrations occur in April, September, and October, -when close to twenty species of ducks and geese may be found. The geese -are more often seen resting on mud bars or on the dikes than on the water. -Most will be Canadas and Snows (both phases), but a few Greater White-fronteds -are seen.

To reach them, start at the signal light at -Main Avenue and 1st Street in West Fargo. Travel 1.0 mile north, turn left -(west), and continue for 1.0 mile to the lagoons. The water levels are usually -rather high, so shorebirds are not abundant. However, these ponds do -attract a large variety, including some of the larger ones such as Marbled -and Hudsonian Godwits. When the grassy ditches bordering the ponds are -filled with water, it is not unusual to find Common Snipe and Wilson’s -Phalarope.</p> -<p>The main attraction is the number of waterfowl using the lagoons in -migration. April seems to be the best month. The ducks, all in their best -spring plumages, appear to cover the water’s surface. The Lesser Scaup is -usually the most numerous, but several other species vie for second honors. -Mallards, Common Pintails, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Northern Shovelers, -Blue-winged Teal, Redheads, Canvasbacks, Ring-necked Ducks, -Ruddy Ducks, and Common Mergansers are usually common every -spring. Other species occurring in smaller numbers are Green-winged -Teal, Wood Duck, Common Goldeneye, and Bufflehead. The birder who -has the patience to check out all of the ducks present may turn up something -extra-special such as a Greater Scaup, Oldsquaw, White-winged Scoter, -Red-breasted Merganser, or Hooded Merganser.

(If you miss the -turn, in another mile you will come to the Sheyenne River.) Go 5.0 miles -and turn left (south). Stay on this road as it begins to follow the river east. -After about 5 miles, you may start birding.</p> -<p>This area is well-wooded with American elm, green ash, bur oak, basswood, -and many other species. There is also a lush under-story. It is typical -of Sheyenne River bottomlands throughout the area with one important -difference: this area is not posted nor fenced. It is one of the few good -stretches still open to the public. The birds are representative of deciduous -forest communities in this sector of the state. Migrants pass through in -large numbers, and, because of the great amount of habitat available, this -area holds one of the highest densities of wintering birds in the state.</p> -<p>Three species could be considered as specialties of the area—Barred -Owl, Pileated Woodpecker, and Scarlet Tanager. All nest in the vicinity. -This is the only area in the state where the Barred Owl is known to nest, -and the other two species are quite restricted as well.</p> -<p>After 7.6 miles turn left (north) at the 4-H sign.

After 4.7 miles you may turn left on a dirt road, which -wraps around Lake Tewaukon. However, you may wish to continue on to -the headquarters (turn left at a sign 5.5 miles south of starting point) to get -a map, bird-list, and current information on birds and road conditions.</p> -<p>There are four large water-areas on the refuge—Lake Tewaukon, -Cutler Marsh, White Lake, and Clouds Lake. All are supplied by the Wild -Rice River and its tributaries. The refuge also contains several hundred -acres of upland terrain dotted with potholes.</p> -<p>Perhaps the most spectacular aspect of the bird life is the numbers of -geese which stop here in migration. Spring flights are greater than those -in fall, with peak populations of over 100,000 geese (mostly Snow Geese of -both color phases) present at one time. In addition, large numbers of ducks -pass through, and several species nest. Eared, Western and Pied-billed -Grebes all nest, and small numbers of American White Pelicans and -Double-crested Cormorants can be seen throughout the summer.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_25">25</div> -<p>Although the great numbers of geese usually get the most raves from -out-of-staters, there is a more interesting side to the refuge from the North -Dakota birder’s standpoint. It and other similar marshlands in the southeastern -sector draw into the state several species with more southern affinities. -A good example is the Great Egret. A rare migrant and late-summer -visitor over the rest of the state, here, it is fairly common in late summer. -Other species which could fall into such a category include Little Blue -Heron, Cattle and Snowy Egrets, Least Bittern, White-faced Ibis, American -Black Duck, and King Rail. All are decidedly rare, not only here but -throughout the state. Although most occur every year, they are not to be -expected by the visiting birder, but they do show the potential of the area.</p> -<p>Besides attracting all of the common migratory shorebirds, the refuge -can boast of nesting Willets, Marbled Godwits, and Upland Sandpipers. -Soras and Virginia Rails are fairly common in the marshy areas, as are -Marsh and Sedge Wrens. Sharp-tailed and Le Conte’s Sparrows are -uncommon nesters in wet, grassy areas. The Swamp Sparrow (fairly common -in migration) should be watched for in summer, because there are a -few colonies nesting in the county. Yellow-headed Blackbirds are abundant, -and in some years Short-eared Owls nest. Some of the more interesting -upland species include Gray Partridge, Bobolink, Dickcissel, Lark -Bunting, Grasshopper Sparrow, Clay-colored Sparrow, and Chestnut-collared -Longspur.</p> -<h3>d) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Ransom">Ransom</a> County</h3> -<p>A nice woodland area may be reached by going west on State Highway -46 from State Highway 32 about four miles west of Enderlin. Go 12.6 -miles and turn left (south) at the sign to Little Yellowstone State Park.</p> -<p>This park is not an outstanding birding spot, but it can be good in -spring and fall, and it does offer a pleasant spot to camp. It is well wooded -and therefore good for any of the species typical of this habitat, as well as -for accipiters and owls (Great Horned and Common Screech). Most of the -transient warblers found at Fargo also occur here, although some of the -more marginal eastern species, such as the Northern Parula, are not to be -expected this far west.

One of the best is around <b>Baldhill Dam</b>. -To reach the dam from Valley City, take Main Street East through the -downtown area. Take the first right (Central Avenue North) after the city -park and follow the signs for Lake Ashtabula, Baldhill Dam, and the Fish -Hatchery. At 12th Street Northeast turn right. After 0.3 mile turn left at a -sign for the dam. Continue for 0.8 mile and turn left after the grain elevator -toward Wesley Acres. After 1.8 miles the fish hatchery will be on your -left.</p> -<p>The Valley City National Fish Hatchery grounds provide prime birding -for woodland passerines, especially during migration. The ponds are -often good in spring and early summer for American White Pelicans, -Double-crested Cormorants, Black and Forster’s Terns, and all of the swallows -found in the state. Later in summer when the ponds are being drawn -down for fish removal, there can be excellent viewing of shorebirds.

These turkeys have -been stocked and restocked by the fish and game department until a sizable -flock has been built up. The most consistent spot along this road for -seeing them is on your left in 2 to 4 miles. The road forks 6.6 miles north of -the hatchery. The left fork winds up at Baldhill Dam. By going straight, -you will come to a recreation area after 0.8 mile.

The grassy hillsides -around the parking lot may harbor Ring-necked Pheasants in any season. -A footbridge over the dam and onto the dike is a good vantage point, providing -a good view of a stretch of the Sheyenne River below the dam. Both -Eastern and Western Kingbirds may be seen on the hillsides leading down -to the river, and as many as six species of swallows (Cliff, Barn, Tree, -Bank, Rough-winged, and Purple Martin) hawk for insects over the river. -The Cliff and Tree are the most numerous. American White Pelicans and -Black-crowned Night Herons can usually be seen fishing directly below -the dam. This is also a good place to check in winter and early spring for -Common Goldeneye and Common Merganser. By scanning the sandbars -farther downstream, you should be able to find several species of shorebirds -during migration. Ring-billed Gulls will be constantly circling overhead -from spring to fall. In spring and fall keep your eyes and ears open -for flocks of geese and Sandhill Cranes flying overhead.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_28">28</div> -<p>Across the bridge, there are steps down the side of the dike to several -settling ponds which are productive in migration for shorebirds such as -Semipalmated Plover, Baird’s Sandpiper, both species of yellowlegs, and -Marbled and Hudsonian (rare) Godwits. Franklin’s Gulls may be seen in -numbers in spring and fall (especially in October).</p> -<p>If you visit the dam from the recreation area, walk down the side of the -dike and check the river at the first point available. The water ends here in -a quiet pool surrounded by trees and brush. Oftentimes, a Green Heron will -fly as you enter. This has been a consistent spot for it. Black-crowned -Night Herons, Wood Ducks, and Spotted Sandpipers are common along -the river from here to below the dam. In May the brush and trees are often -crawling with warblers. In September and October, the brushy borders are -full of sparrows, including Song, Lincoln’s, White-throated, White-crowned, -and Harris’.</p> -<p>The wooded ravines will usually produce the following nesting species: -Eastern and Western Kingbirds, Great Crested and Least Flycatchers, -Eastern Pewee, Cedar Waxwing, Yellow Warbler, Northern Oriole, Indigo -Bunting, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.</p> -<p>From the recreation area continue northeast for 2 miles and turn left -(north) on the first intersecting road. After about 2 more miles you will -come to a sign reading “Sundstrom’s Landing Recreational Area”. On the -right across from the sign, a gravel trail leads up the small hill to some -prairie habitat worth investigating. Look for Eastern Bluebird, Dickcissel, -and Grasshopper Sparrow. Clay-colored Sparrows are particularly numerous. -Before birding this spot continue for 0.2 mile to the recreation area to -park your car. For easterners, the bird of most interest is the Western Kingbird, -a sure thing at the recreation area. American White Pelicans can be -seen from the point, and Western Grebes are occasionally found. Check -small wooded ravines in the area for migrant passerines.</p> -<p>One of the best spots in Barnes County for viewing migrating waterfowl -and shorebirds is <b>Hobart Lake National Wildlife Refuge</b>. The -lake can be seen from I-94, about 7.0 miles west of Valley City. However, -there is no place along the interstate to stop and scan. For viewing purposes, -take I-94 west from Valley City and turn right (north) at Exit 1 for -1.4 miles to the lake.</p> -<p>Large numbers of Snow and Canada Geese use the refuge in migration, -and American White Pelicans are usually present during early and -mid-summer. Grebes, shorebirds, and some ducks can be found throughout -the summer. The refuge is especially good for Whistling Swans, with up to -1,000 or more present for several weeks in fall.</p> -<p>Continue past Hobart Lake for 2.9 miles to the Sanborn Waterfowl -Production Area. This marshy area is good for Soras and Virginia Rails, -Marsh Wrens, and, when the water levels are low, shorebirds. Watch also -for Le Conte’s and Sharp-tailed Sparrows. Continue west on Highway 1 for -<span class="pb" id="Page_29">29</span> -another 3.9 miles to check a large alkaline lake that is excellent for -shorebirds.</p> -<p>A fruitful spot for migrant and breeding passerines is the Clausen -Springs Recreational Area. To reach it, go south on Highway 1 from I-94 -for 15.5 miles, turn left (east), and follow the signs to the springs. If you are -coming from the south, go north on Highway 1 for 2.0 miles past Highway -46 (not far from Little Yellowstone State Park), turn right (east), and follow -the signs.</p> -<p>This can be a delightful spot to bird on a hot summer day! There is a -small lake, a pleasant stream, and lots of trees for shade. It is good for all -of the regular migrant flycatchers, warblers, vireos, and sparrows. It also -attracts some interesting breeding birds, one of which is the Orchard Oriole. -This is one of the better spots in the southeastern sector for this species. -Other nesting species include Belted Kingfisher, Western Kingbird, -Least Flycatcher, Eastern Pewee, House Wren, Eastern Bluebird, Yellow -Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Song Sparrow. Clay-colored Sparrows -are common on the grassy hillsides, and the lake occasionally -attracts some ducks or shorebirds.</p> -<h3>f) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Stutsman">Stutsman</a> County</h3> -<p>The best birding area in this county, <b>Arrowwood National Wildlife -Refuge</b>, ranks as one of the best in the state. The starting point is the -north edge of Edmunds (northwest of Jamestown on U.S. Highway 281). -From here, turn right (east) at the refuge sign onto County Road #44. After -5.4 miles you may turn left to the headquarters, or just beyond you may -turn right for the self-guided auto tour.</p> -<p>A visit to the headquarters is suggested, not only for information but -also for some good viewing of waterbirds along the way. In summer look -for Western, Eared, Horned, and Pied-billed Grebes; American White Pelican; -Double-crested Cormorant; numerous ducks; gulls (including an occasional -California); terns; shorebirds; swallows; and blackbirds. Ask at the -office for a map, checklist, and information on desired species and access -to other parts of the refuge.</p> -<p>While here, you may wish to inquire about Chase Lake National Wildlife -Refuge, which is administered from Arrowwood. This lake is of interest -because it has what is reputed to be the largest nesting colony of American -White Pelicans in the world. Large numbers of Double-crested Cormorants -and Ring-billed and California Gulls nest here.</p> -<p>Access is limited in order that people will not disturb the birds. The -only roads leading to the lake are better described as trails and, for the -most part, do not get too close. This is no real loss, because all of the species -here can be found easily elsewhere.</p> -<p>The auto tour at Arrowwood is a must. In summer check the boggy -areas surrounded by weedy fields at the start of the tour for Willow Flycatcher, -<span class="pb" id="Page_30">30</span> -Marsh and Sedge Wrens, Bobolink, Dickcissel, and Savannah, -Grasshopper, Clay-colored, Le Conte’s (uncommon), and Sharp-tailed -(uncommon) Sparrows.

After 1.7 miles you will pass a lake on the right side with a sign -saying “Waterfowl Production Area”. There is another on the left. Salt -Alkaline Lake is 2.7 miles ahead on the left. At 5.0 miles from the freeway, -turn left for a closer look.</p> -<p>Both Salt Alkaline Lake and the lake before it have grassy borders, -which are summer havens for Baird’s Sparrows. In 1976, Burrowing Owls -<span class="pb" id="Page_31">31</span> -nested in bordering fields and should be watched for again. Also check for -migrant ducks and shorebirds. The mixed-grass prairie along the road is -good for Chestnut-collared Longspur.</p> -<p>A prime spot for Sprague’s Pipit is also within easy reach of I-94 in -Kidder County. Take the Tappen Exit (#46) and drive 4.0 miles north on -County Road #71 to an extensive pond. Check the grassy margins for the -pipit. This area has one of the highest breeding densities in the state. For -best results the entire marshy area should be skirted. To do so drive -another 1.0 mile north, 1.0 mile west, 2.0 miles south, and then 1.0 mile east -back to County Road #71.

All of the regular grebes of North Dakota occur at one time or -another. The Western Grebe nests in abundance. American White Pelicans -and Double-crested Cormorants can usually be found, because they range -far from their nesting area on Chase Lake. Large numbers of all of the regular -ducks, gulls (watch for California), and terns can be expected from -April to October. This lake is especially good for shorebirds, among them -American Avocet, Semipalmated and Piping (uncommon—nests) Plovers, -both yellowlegs, Willet, Stilt Sandpiper, both dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstone -(rare), Pectoral Sandpiper, Dunlin (rare), Sanderling, all of the peeps, -and Wilson’s and Northern Phalaropes.</p> -<p>The Slade National Wildlife Refuge can be productive for waterbirds, -but it is not outstanding.

Probably the best of these is <b>Long Lake National -Wildlife Refuge</b>. To reach it go south on Highway 83 (Exit 40) from I-94 -for 12.0 miles before turning left (east) at the sign. Refuge roads lead -around Long Lake and through some good marshes.</p> -<p>During migration, this is one of the best spots in the state. Some of the -more interesting migrants are: Whistling Swan; Canada and Greater -White-fronted Geese; Cinnamon Teal (rare); Common Goldeneye; Bufflehead; -White-winged Scoter (rare); Hooded (rare), Red-breasted (rare), and -Common Mergansers; Golden and Bald Eagles (uncommon); Peregrine -Falcon (rare); Whooping (rare) and Sandhill Cranes; Semipalmated, -Lesser Golden (rare), and Black-bellied (rare) Plovers; Ruddy Turnstone -(rare); both yellowlegs; Hudsonian Godwit (rare); Sanderling (rare); Northern -Phalarope; Solitary, Pectoral, Baird’s, White-rumped, Least, Stilt, and -Semipalmated Sandpipers; Herring, California, and Bonaparte’s Gulls; -Sprague’s Pipit; Le Conte’s (rare), Sharp-tailed (rare—may nest), and -Harris’ Sparrows; and Lapland Longspur.</p> -<p>Although migration is the most exciting time, the refuge should not be -by-passed in summer. Species to be seen then include Horned (uncommon), -Eared, Western, and Pied-billed Grebes; American White Pelican; Double-crested -Cormorant; Black-crowned Night Heron; American Bittern; Mallard; -Gadwall; Common Pintail; Green-winged and Blue-winged Teals; -American Wigeon; Northern Shoveler; Redhead; Canvasback; Lesser -Scaup; Ruddy Duck; Swainson’s, Red-tailed, and Ferruginous Hawks; -Northern Harrier; Sharp-tailed Grouse; Gray Partridge; Virginia Rail; -Sora; American Coot; Piping Plover; Killdeer; Willet; Spotted and Upland -Sandpipers; American Avocet; Wilson’s Phalarope; Ring-billed and Franklin’s -Gulls; Common, Forster’s, and Black Terns; Short-eared Owl; Eastern -and Western Kingbirds; all of the regular swallows; Marsh and Sedge -<span class="pb" id="Page_35">35</span> -Wrens; Loggerhead Shrike; Bobolink; Western Meadowlark; Yellow-headed, -Red-winged, and Brewer’s Blackbirds; Dickcissel; Lark Bunting; -Grasshopper and Baird’s Sparrows; and Chestnut-collared Longspur.</p> -<p>Another area which is often good is McKenzie Slough. To reach it take -Exit #39 off I-94, and go south through McKenzie. The slough begins just -south of the town. When water levels are high enough, the following nesting -species can be expected: American Bittern, Mallard, Common Pintail, -Blue-winged Teal, Gadwall, Ruddy Duck, American Coot, Pied-billed and -Eared Grebes, Sora, Marsh Wren, Common Yellowthroat, and Red-winged -and Yellow-headed Blackbirds. During migration, this spot attracts many -of the same species found at Long Lake. Chestnut-collared Longspurs nest -in the pastures along this road (south of the slough).</p> -<p>The city of Bismarck (population 34,703) lies on the east side of the -Missouri River in western Burleigh County. Not only is it the state capital, -but also it contains a habitat unique in the region—Missouri River bottomland -forest. At one time almost four hundred miles of this habitat could -be found. It stretched from the South Dakota border in the south-central -part of the state to the Montana border in the northwestern part. The construction -of dams brought about the subsequent flooding of the bottomlands -until the forests had been reduced to a 75-mile stretch between -Bismarck and the Garrison Dam and a few miles from Lake Sakakawea to -the Montana border. Much of what little remains is being cleared for housing -and agriculture.</p> -<p>Nesting species found in this habitat include Red-tailed Hawk; American -Kestrel; Wild Turkey; Mourning Dove; Black-billed Cuckoo; Great -Horned Owl; Common Flicker; Red-headed, Hairy, and Downy Woodpeckers; -Least Flycatcher; Black-capped Chickadee; White-breasted -Nuthatch; Blue Jay; Black-billed Magpie; American Crow; House Wren; -Brown Thrasher; Gray Catbird; American Robin; Veery; Eastern Bluebird -(usually restricted to semi-open areas and adjacent fields); Cedar Waxwing; -Red-eyed, Warbling, and Bell’s (rare) Vireos; Black-and-white -(uncommon) and Yellow Warblers; Ovenbird; Yellow-breasted Chat; American -Redstart; Orchard and Northern Orioles; Common Grackle; Brown-headed -Cowbird; Scarlet Tanager (rare); Black-headed Grosbeak; Indigo -(uncommon) and Lazuli Buntings; American Goldfinch (open areas); -Rufous-sided Towhee; and Chipping, Clay-colored, Field (open areas), and -Song Sparrows.</p> -<p>The woodlands bordering the Missouri River are the best places in the -Bismarck vicinity to look for migrant passerines, such as Red-breasted -Nuthatch; Brown Creeper; Hermit, Swainson’s, and Gray-cheeked -Thrushes; Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets; Black-and-white, -Tennessee, Orange-crowned, Magnolia, Yellow-rumped, Blackpoll, Palm, -and Wilson’s Warblers; Northern Waterthrush; Purple Finch; Northern -Junco; and Harris’, White-crowned, White-throated, Fox, and Lincoln’s -Sparrows. Birds to watch for in winter include Great Horned Owl, Common -<span class="pb" id="Page_36">36</span> -Flicker, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers, Blue Jay, Black-billed Magpie -(semi-open areas and margins), Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted -Nuthatch, American Robin, Purple Finch, American Goldfinch, -Northern Junco, and American Tree Sparrow (open areas). Both species of -waxwings can be found in most years as well.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig14"> -<img src="images/p08.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="503" /> -<p class="pcap">SIBLEY ISLAND</p> -</div> -<p>Typical bottomland habitat can -be found near <b>Sibley Island</b>. To -reach it start at the Bismarck Airport -on the road to the terminal and drive -south on Highway 1804 for 2.1 miles. -Turn right (west) on a surfaced road. -After 0.5 mile you have a choice of continuing -straight (west) or turning left -(south). To reach the best habitat, turn -left and follow the road as it swings to -the left. Go 2.2 miles (.5 mile past the -bend) and turn right at the sign to the -Girl Scout camp.</p> -<p>The road passes through excellent bottomland habitat. This consists -mostly of cottonwood, green ash, box elder, and to a lesser extent American -elm and bur oak. The understory, which is thick in some areas, -includes Wood’s rose, red-osier dogwood, snowberry, bittersweet, and wild -grape.</p> -<p>After birding around the camp, drive all the way to the river. From the -high banks you will have a good vantage point from which to look over the -sandbars for the area’s three specialties—Piping Plovers, Little Terns, -and skinny-dippers. The latter species, although cosmopolitan in range, is -quite rare in North Dakota. (When present they are “hard to miss”.)</p> -<p>The Piping Plover can sometimes be found in good numbers. This is -one of the best areas in the state for them. Likewise, this stretch of the river -is the only known nesting site for the Little Tern in North Dakota. When -looking for them, remember that their locations vary from year to year, -depending on the sandbars. The best way to find them is to check as many -points along the river as possible. A spotting scope would be very useful in -looking for all three aforementioned species.</p> -<p>If you do not get the plover or tern here, backtrack 2.2 miles to the fork -before the Girl Scout camp and turn left (west). Drive 0.5 mile to 12th Street -or 1.5 miles to Washington Street. By taking either south you will eventually -reach the river. The view at the end of Washington Street is better, but -access may be difficult if the river is high. During migration you may want -to check General Sibley Park along Washington Street for passerines.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_37">37</div> -<h3>b) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Morton">Morton</a> County</h3> -<p>The city of Mandan lies in Morton County just across the Missouri -River from Bismarck. Most of the birds here are about the same as on the -other side of the river, but there are some important exceptions.</p> -<p>To reach the best spots, take I-94 west to Mandan and turn off onto -Main Street (I-94/Highway 10 Business Loop). Turn left (south) on 6th -Avenue Southeast at the sign to Fort Lincoln State Park. This street -becomes <b>Highway 1806</b> and leads to most of the better birding spots.</p> -<p>Fort Lincoln State Park (about four miles south of Mandan) is worth a -visit. It is not a particularly good spot for birds, although you will probably -find typical upland species present. The most interesting feature of the -park is its historical significance. There are three important sites: 1) the -Slant Indian Village, which was once occupied by the Mandan Indians, 2) -Fort McKeen Infantry Post, which was occupied by the 6th Infantry, and -3) Fort Abraham Lincoln, home of the colorful George Armstrong Custer -and his famous 7th Cavalry. The two military posts were active in the late -1800’s. The park also offers an interpretive museum, picnic sites, and several -modern camping sites (complete with electrical hook-ups).</p> -<p>Continue south on Highway 1806 for 6.0 miles to the Little Heart -River. Turn left on an unmarked side road just north of the bridge. This -passes under an old railway trestle and through a field of alfalfa and tall -wheat grass. A colony of Sedge Wrens has nested here in recent years. This -area is also dependable for Gray Partridge, Bobolink, American Goldfinch, -Dickcissel, and Grasshopper Sparrow. At the field’s edge and in the -woods look for Cedar Waxwing, Veery, Yellow-breasted Chat, Northern -and Orchard Orioles, Lazuli Bunting, Black-headed Grosbeak, and other -typical bottomland birds.</p> -<p>Several roads lead from Highway 1806 down to the river, some of -which you may want to take in order to look for bottomlands species and -migrants. Some 4.0 miles past the Little Heart River Bridge, a small road -leads left to a good point for Piping Plover and Little Terns.</p> -<p>Another interesting spot is 6.8 miles past the bridge. Here, you will -enter a small badlands with several severely eroded buttes, much like -those in the extreme western part of the state. Watch for Turkey Vulture, -Swainson’s and Ferruginous Hawks, Western Kingbirds, and Say’s -Phoebes (rare; look near old buildings). Rock Wrens can be surprisingly -common. The best way to find them is to park and walk past eroded buttes. -It is just a matter of watching and listening for their distinctive series of -trills.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_38">38</div> -<div class="img" id="fig15"> -<img src="images/p09.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="340" /> -<p class="pcap">Rock Wren</p> -</div> -<p>A great place for winter birding is the <b>Northern Great Plains -Research Station</b> in Mandan. To reach it, continue west on Main Street -past Highway 1806 and turn left after one mile on Highway 6 (8th Street -Northwest). Cross the railroad trestle and continue on 10th Avenue -Southwest for 0.8 mile to a bridge. Just beyond, turn right at the sign.</p> -<p>These grounds are good for winter birding because of the conifers. -Look for all of the regular winter species and for invaders such as Cedar -and Bohemian Waxwings, Pine Siskins, Purple Finches, Pine (rare) and -Evening Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills, and Golden-crowned Kinglets. The -Townsend’s Solitaire, although rare, has been a fairly frequent visitor in -recent years. The trees are good also for roosting owls. With luck, you may -even turn up a Long-eared Owl.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_39">39</div> -<h3>c) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Dunn">Dunn</a> County</h3> -<div class="img" id="fig16"> -<img src="images/p09a.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="405" /> -<p class="pcap">DUNN COUNTY</p> -</div> -<p>Yet another location for migrant and nesting waterbirds is Lake Ilo -National Wildlife Refuge. To reach it, start just south of the town of Killdeer -at Highway 22, go east for 3.0 miles on Highway 200, and turn right at -the sign.</p> -<p>Drive south through the mixed-grass prairie, which is good for Northern -Harrier, Swainson’s Hawk, Ring-necked Pheasant, Sharp-tailed -Grouse, Eastern and Western Kingbirds, Horned Lark, Lark Bunting, -Lark and Grasshopper Sparrows, and Chestnut-collared Longspur. Turn -left (2.0 miles) and bird until the road dead-ends at a farmhouse.</p> -<p>To bird the rest of the refuge, return to Highway 200 and head east -again. Turn right (1.5 miles) toward the recreation area (just before the -cemetery). After 0.3 mile the road forks. Go straight (keeping right) and follow -the road as it heads to the lake and then makes a little square back to -the road on which you entered. By taking this little loop you will get a good -view of Lake Ilo. From this vantage point look for Common Loon (rare -migrant), Western Grebe, American White Pelican, Double-crested Cormorant, -Great Blue Heron (lake edges), Black-crowned Night Heron (lake -edges), ducks and geese, and Sandhill and Whooping (rare) Cranes (migration—lake -edges).</p> -<p>After taking the loop, turn right and drive 0.4 mile. Turn left and -almost immediately swing to the right (at the fishing sign) and head -toward the lake. Turn right at the sign pointing to the headquarters (0.5 -<span class="pb" id="Page_40">40</span> -mile). After 0.8 mile you may do three things: 1) turn right to the headquarters -for information, 2) go straight for a different view of the lake, or 3) -swing left to the slough.</p> -<p>The slough is the best area for birding. After swinging left, proceed for -0.8 mile, turn left, and drive for 1.1 miles past the entire marsh.</p> -<p>Species to be seen from spring to fall include Red-necked (rare), -Horned (uncommon), Eared, Western (uncommon), and Pied-billed Grebes; -Great Blue Heron; Black-crowned Night Heron; American Bittern; Mallard, -Common Pintail; Blue-winged Teal; Northern Shoveler; Gadwall; -American Wigeon; Ruddy Duck; American Coot; Sora; Virginia Rail; Killdeer; -Spotted Sandpiper; Willet; Marbled Godwit; American Avocet; Wilson’s -Phalarope; Black Tern; Belted Kingfisher; Eastern and Western -Kingbirds; Barn, Cliff, and Tree Swallows; Marsh Wren; Common Yellow-throat; -Red-winged, Brewer’s, and Yellow-headed Blackbirds; and Song -and Savannah Sparrows. Many other ducks, shorebirds, and swallows -may be seen as migrants or as occasional summer visitors.</p> -<p>After driving by the marsh, turn right, south for 1.0 mile, and turn -right on a road through a mixed-grass prairie, which is good for Chestnut-collared -Longspurs and possibly for Baird’s Sparrows.</p> -<h3>d) <a class="nform" id="cnty_Bowman">Bowman</a> County</h3> -<div class="img" id="fig17"> -<img src="images/p10.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="340" /> -<p class="pcap">Bowman Haley Dam Refuge</p> -</div> -<p>Because of its position in the very southwestern corner of the state, -Bowman County is one of the most exciting to bird.

To reach it go north on U.S. -Highway 85 from the South Dakota border for 5.3 miles, and turn right on -an improved gravel road at a sign saying “Bowman-Haley Dam Recreation -Area”. (This turn-off is about 11 miles south of Highway 12 near Bowman.) -Go 5.0 miles east and turn right (south) at the sign saying “Point -Rec Area 3 Miles”. After 2.0 miles turn left (east).</p> -<p>In the first mile check the roughly-plowed fields for McCown’s Longspurs -in both spring and summer. After 1.3 miles the road becomes narrower -and grassier and begins to loop around the lake. It should still be -passable in all but wet weather. From 1.3 miles until 4.8 miles (where the -road ends at a fence), you will be traversing some excellent grasslands. -Most are mixed-grass prairie, but close to the lake there are tall-grass fields -choked with weeds.</p> -<p>The mixed-grass prairie is good for nesting Sharp-tailed Grouse, Gray -Partridge, Upland Sandpiper, Marbled Godwit, Burrowing Owl, Sprague’s -Pipit (uncommon), Baird’s Sparrow, and Chestnut-collared Longspur. In -the weedy fields where vegetation is taller and thicker, look for Bobolink, -Dickcissel, and Clay-colored, Vesper, Grasshopper, and Savannah -Sparrows.</p> -<p>For a different view of the lake, back-track to Highway 85, turn right -(east), drive 3.0 miles, turn right (south), go 1.9 miles until the road forks, -and swing right toward the marina. After 0.2 mile bear right. This road is -good for birding, and there are picnic sites as well as room to spread your -sleeping bag.</p> -<p>The lake is mostly open water with few marshy areas. It is not particularly -good for nesting waterfowl. Nevertheless, in summer you should be -able to find American White Pelicans; Double-crested Cormorants; Great -Blue Herons; Ring-billed, California, and Franklin’s Gulls; and Black -Terns although only the latter nests. A sprinkling of ducks use the lake in -summer—both those that nest here and those from neighboring marshes. -During migration, check for transient ducks, geese, and shorebirds. Short-eared -Owls nest in the grassy areas.</p> -<p>The wooded ravines, tree lines, and shelterbelts provide habitat for -migrant and nesting passerines. Look for Black-billed Cuckoo, Eastern -and Western Kingbirds, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, Yellow Warbler, -Orchard Oriole, American Goldfinch, and Rufous-sided Towhee (spotted -race).</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_42">42</div> -<div class="img" id="fig18"> -<img src="images/p11.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="405" /> -<p class="pcap">ROAD FROM RHAME</p> -</div> -<p>There are two roads in the western part of Bowman County along -which most of the specialties of the area can be found.

The town has become famous in birding circles largely -because of the field work done there by Ann and Bob Gammell, and -because of their hospitality in showing off the area’s specialties to visiting -birders. Perhaps the single factor which generated the most publicity -about Kenmare and its birds was the American Birding Association’s first -convention, which was held here in June of 1973. Birders who attended -were astounded by the density and diversity of birds to be found breeding -throughout the prairie-pothole country.</p> -<p>What makes Kenmare so special? For one thing, it is surrounded by -national wildlife refuges. The town itself lies right in the middle of Des -Lacs National Wildlife Refuge. Lostwood Refuge is only a short distance to -the southwest while Upper Souris Refuge is just to the southeast. These -three areas contain almost every major habitat type to be found in the -region, and Kenmare makes a great base for exploring all three. The town -is not large (1,515 people as of 1970), but there are several gas stations, -stores, cafes, and motels.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig28"> -<img src="images/p18.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="330" /> -<p class="pcap">Des Lacs Refuge</p> -</div> -<p>The best birding spot is <b>Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge</b>.

At this point you have been transecting part of -the lake. Watch for Western and Eared Grebes. After 0.4 mile turn left to -the headquarters for a checklist, map, and current information on road -conditions. The wooded area surrounding the buildings may provide good -birding, especially during migration.

Turn left again (0.5 mile) on a dirt road marked by a refuge sign. -This will take you along the lake back to Kenmare. It makes for excellent -birding because the lake with its reedy border will be on your left, while to -your right are grassy hillsides peppered with several shrubby thickets. In -the latter habitat watch for Swainson’s Hawk, Eastern Kingbird, Willow -Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbird, and Clay-colored Sparrow.</p> -<p>The lake itself is especially good for grebes (Western Grebe should be -easy.); American White Pelican; Double-crested Cormorant; ducks and -geese; Black, Forster’s, and Common Terns; and Ring-billed, Franklin’s, -Herring, California, and Bonaparte’s Gulls (the latter three occur only as -uncommon migrants or summer visitors). Large numbers of shorebirds -feed along the open shore or on mudflats during spring migration and -from July to October. Some of the shorebirds to be seen are Semipalmated -<span class="pb" id="Page_58">58</span> -Plover; Killdeer; Ruddy Turnstone (rare); Lesser Golden Plover (uncommon -to rare); Willet; Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs; Spotted, Solitary, Pectoral, -White-rumped (uncommon), Baird’s, Least, Stilt, and Semipalmated -Sandpipers; Long-billed Dowitcher; Marbled Godwit; American Avocet; -and Wilson’s and Northern Phalaropes. The reedy borders of the lake -should be watched for Great Blue Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, -American Bittern, Virginia Rail, and Sora. Check the reeds for Marsh -Wren and the taller grass closer to the road for Sedge Wren.</p> -<p>Go 2.0 miles to a small bridge under which dozens of Cliff Swallows -nest.

After 0.7 mile turn right on a -gravel road going north. Cross the railroad tracks, pull over to the side, -and walk the meadow to your right. This area has been good in the past for -Le Conte’s and Sharp-tailed Sparrows. Watch also for Willow Flycatcher, -Common Yellowthroat, Bobolink, and Savannah Sparrow.</p> -<p>Continuing along Upper Des Lacs Lake, you should see all of the -grebes, pelicans, cormorants, ducks, gulls, terns, swallows, and blackbirds -seen on the preceding tour, but this route is not as good for shorebirds or -marsh species. The road is bordered for some way by a wooded area (primarily -second-growth) with all of the normal nesting and migrant -passerines.</p> -<p>After 4.0 miles you will see a boating and picnic area to the right. Just -beyond this, turn left. Turn right at the yield sign (0.8 mile), and then turn -right again on Highway 52 (5.0 miles). After 0.9 mile turn left on a gravel -road and immediately pull off to the right at a dirt road by a gate. (There -should be a small refuge sign on it.) By walking past the gate and following -the trail, you will come to a photo blind overlooking a Sharp-tailed -Grouse dancing ground. During spring as many as 40-60 birds may be seen -displaying. The blind may be used for photography or simple observation. -However, you are required to check with refuge personnel before entering.</p> -<p>To return to Kenmare, continue past the turn-off to the blind for 11.0 -miles to Highways 52 and 2.</p> -<p>The bird which brings more birders to Kenmare (and to North Dakota -for that matter) than any other has to be the Baird’s Sparrow. While it can -be found in appropriate habitat over most of the state, there is one place -where it is probably easier to find than in any other—<b>Longspur Pasture</b>, -a privately owned area of mixed-grass prairie encompassing several -acres. To reach it, start at Highway 52 in Kenmare. Turn west on Highway -2, go 1.0 mile, and turn right (northwest) on Ward County Road #2. After -<span class="pb" id="Page_59">59</span> -about 6.0 miles go straight west on Ward County Road #2A for 3.0 miles to -an old country school-house on your right. Go another 1.5 miles and pull -over just beyond two small tree rows. Longspur Pasture is the fenced, -grassy field on the left (south) (west of the tree rows). Cross the fence to -bird, but remember that this is private land and should be respected as -such. Cattle are sometimes encountered in the pasture.</p> -<p>This quarter-section of relatively unspoiled prairie may not look like -much, but it is one of the most productive spots around for finding the -prairie specialties. Sprague’s Pipit, Baird’s Sparrow, and Chestnut-collared -Longspur are almost a sure thing between mid-May and mid-August -(the longspurs may leave by early August). Other species which -may be encountered are Gray Partridge, Marbled Godwit, Burrowing Owl, -Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, and Savannah and Grasshopper -Sparrows. Pronghorn Antelope sometimes come to the small waterhole to -drink.</p> -<p>You may have to walk south into the field where the grass gets a little -taller to find the Baird’s Sparrow. It likes to sing from the patches of wolfberry -and silverberry. During the early stages of the nesting season, it is -quite conspicuous. Later in summer singing diminishes, and the bird -becomes a little harder to find. At this time it also seems to stick closer to -the ground. However, you can still get good views by herding it toward a -patch of wolfberry or silverberry. After being flushed a couple of times, the -sparrow will often fly to the shrub and perch in plain view nervously -repeating its call note, which is quite like that of the Savannah Sparrow (a -sharp “chik”).</p> -<p>The Sprague’s Pipit may be slightly harder to see well. It prefers to -stay on the ground where it is difficult to spot because of the grass. When -flushed, it usually flies a short way and drops back into the grass. Unlike -the Baird’s Sparrow, the pipit may be hardest to see when singing because -it sings while on the wing (like a Horned Lark) and sometimes at amazingly -high altitudes. At Longspur Pasture you will often hear its “swishing” -song from overhead without being able to see the bird. Do not be -discouraged by all of this. You may still get a good look at the Sprague’s -Pipit. In spring and early summer it often perches on fence posts or sits -around the muddy edges of the stock pond, where the grass does not obscure -the view.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_60">60</div> -<div class="img" id="fig29"> -<img src="images/p19.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="337" /> -<p class="pcap">Longspur Pasture</p> -</div> -<p>Still one more large refuge in the northwest sector is <b>Upper Souris -National Wildlife Refuge</b>.

Included -in its 58,700 acres are vast marshlands; uplands-sandhills; wet, grassy -meadows; mixed-grass prairie, and well-wooded bottomland. The habitats -are so diverse that over 250 species of birds have been recorded, of which -about 125 nest.</p> -<p>To reach the refuge, go north on State Highway 14 from Upham for 2.5 -miles and turn right. The headquarters is 0.3 mile ahead. Check for the -usual assortment of checklists, pamphlets, and maps, including one showing -the two public automobile trails. More importantly, you may pick up a -trail-guide for the 22-mile scenic tour, which takes off from the headquarters, -winds through the refuge, and eventually ends back on Highway 14 -south of Upham. It traverses most of the major habitats.</p> -<p>The scenic tour passes through some very extensive marshlands -which harbor, in addition to all of the common waterfowl and shorebirds, -Red-necked (uncommon), Horned, Eared, Western, and Pied-billed Grebes; -American White Pelican; Double-crested Cormorant (There is a nesting -colony on the southern portion of the refuge.); Great Blue Heron; Black-crowned -Night Heron; American Bittern; Northern Harrier; Virginia and -Yellow Rails; Sora; American Coot; Ring-billed and Franklin’s Gulls; Forster’s, -Common, and Black Terns; Short-eared Owl; Tree, Bank, Rough-winged, -Barn, and Cliff Swallows; Purple Martin; Marsh and Sedge -Wrens; Common Yellowthroat; Yellow-headed and Red-winged Blackbirds; -and Le Conte’s and Sharp-tailed Sparrows.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_64">64</div> -<p>Adjacent to many of the marshlands are wet, grassy meadows, which -harbor some of the species found in the marshes and a few of their own, -such as Yellow Rail, Short-eared Owl, Willow Flycatcher, Sedge Wren -(very common), and Savannah, Le Conte’s, Sharp-tailed, and Song Sparrows. -The Yellow Rail is rare but has been turning up with increasing frequency -in the past few years. Because of its accessibility, this refuge is one -of the best places to look for it.</p> -<p>A unique habitat found along the scenic tour is the sandhills. These -tall ridges of sand, now covered by grasses and shrubs, were once a beach -of glacial Lake Souris during the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. Some -of the birds to be seen while walking the sandhills (or any other open areas -of the refuge) include Red-tailed and Swainson’s Hawks, American Kestrel, -Sharp-tailed Grouse (There is a photo blind near a dancing ground on -the refuge. To use it check with refuge personnel.), Ring-necked Pheasant, -Gray Partridge, Mourning Dove, Common Nighthawk, Common Flicker, -Eastern and Western Kingbirds, Say’s Phoebe (rare), Black-billed Magpie, -American Crow, Mountain Bluebird (Most common as a spring migrant, -but a few nest in the aspens.), Loggerhead Shrike, Brewer’s Blackbird, -Common Grackle, Brown-headed Cowbird, American Goldfinch, Rufous-sided -Towhee, and Vesper, Lark, and Clay-colored Sparrows. Sandhill -Cranes often pass overhead in migration.</p> -<p>One thing which distinguishes J. Clark Salyer from the other refuges -to the west is the large amount of wooded area.

You may have to wade a bit to get good views, -but the water is only a few inches deep throughout most of this grassy -area. A walk along the railroad tracks north of the slough may turn up -Gray Partridge, Upland Sandpiper, and Chestnut-collared Longspur. In -fall watch for Lapland Longspurs along the tracks and over the slough.</p> -<p>Continue north for 1.7 miles and turn right (east). During migration -check for Common Snipe and rails in the ditches on the right. Watch for -Chestnut-collared Longspurs as well. Drive 1.0 mile and turn right again. -Mountain Bluebirds have been found during spring (March 20-30) around -the farm area. Also check the surrounding fields in spring and fall for -Ruddy Turnstones and Buff-breasted Sandpipers. After 0.7 mile the east -<span class="pb" id="Page_76">76</span> -end of Kelly’s Slough is on the right. At 1.8 miles you may drive west -through the cluster of buildings at Kelly and check the nearby fields for -Black-bellied and Lesser Golden Plovers (migration only). To continue the -tour, turn left (east) at 0.2 mile past Kelly.</p> -<p>Drive east for 2.0 miles to an old, white, country school-house. During -migration check the fields south of the intersection for Marbled and Hudsonian -Godwits. Continue straight east for another mile before turning left -(north). After 0.6 mile pull over to the left. Walk to the northwest (45° to the -left of the road ahead). There is a Sharp-tailed Grouse dancing ground -about 300 yards out. According to Frank Kelley, there is a reasonably good -chance of the grouse being on or near the grounds at daybreak. At other -times they may be anywhere within a two-mile radius. Sprague’s Pipits -and Chestnut-collared Longspurs nest in the same area.</p> -<p>Return south, the same way you came in, and turn left (east). Check -any areas with tall grass in the next few miles for Sedge Wrens and Le -Conte’s Sparrows. After 2.0 miles turn right (south). In spring check fields -to the north and east of the intersection for Ruddy Turnstones and Buff-breasted -Sandpipers. After 0.5 mile, stop at the first of three entrances to -the sewage lagoons. As many as twenty species of shorebirds can often be -seen from the gate. The greatest concentrations occur in mid-August. In -migration large numbers of grebes, ducks, and gulls use the ponds. Look -for the rarer ducks or shorebirds. Check nearby plowed fields for Lesser -Golden Plover (in migration), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (migration), and -Upland Sandpiper (anytime from spring through fall). For different views -stop at the other two gates. Continue for 5.0 miles and turn left (east) onto -Highway 2 to return to Grand Forks.</p> -<p>A good place for woodland birds is <b>Turtle River State Park</b>, one -mile north of Arvilla or about 18 miles west of Grand Forks along Highway -2. The entrance is well marked. This whole area was once covered by -glacial Lake Agassiz. As the lake lowered, the shoreline remained stable -for some time, allowing the wave action to form a prominent beach ridge -along what is now the eastern edge of the park.

Most likely in the Little Missouri -badlands. Often found in large flocks. Over the rest of the state single -birds may show up at feeding stations with flocks of juncos.</p> -<p class="tb"><b>Hoary Redpoll</b>—Rare and erratic winter visitor to open country and -feeding stations throughout. More common in the eastern half. Usually -found with flocks of Common Redpolls. During invasion years it may be -uncommon from Bismarck east.</p> -<p class="tb"><b>Common Redpoll</b>—Common but erratic winter visitor to open country -throughout. Frequents feeding stations in residential areas. Preferred -spots include forest edges, weed-filled ditches, dry sloughs, and sunflower -fields. Some winters totally absent; when present can usually be found in -good numbers almost anywhere.</p> -<p class="tb"><b>Red Crossbill</b>—Fairly common but erratic winter visitor to forests, -parks, cemeteries, tree lines, and residential areas throughout. Partial to -plantings of conifers, but may frequent feeding stations in large numbers. -After invasion winters, scattered pairs often nest over much of the state. -During good winters often easier to find in the vicinity of Lindenwood -Park and Riverside Cemetery in Fargo than elsewhere.</p> -<p class="tb"><b>White-winged Crossbill</b>—Rare and erratic winter visitor to woodlands -and residential feeding stations throughout.
