Badlands Wildlife
We arrived in Wall, South Dakota after a long drive from Sioux City North. There are abundant birds in our campground, so we spent some time watching and photographing them. After dinner, we headed into the park and saw lots of bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, meadowlarks, and bison. We woke up very early this morning and headed into the park and saw few people for the first several hours. But, we saw lots of wildlife. I’m including a sampling in this post.
I’m having difficulty getting usable internet access, even with my hot spot. I’m not sure whether they throttled me or something else is wrong. If it keeps up, we will have trouble posting regularly.
Great photos loved the post

Great photos. I was there in 1989 but didn’t see much wildlife.

I remember coming here as a kid and I also don’t remember any wildlife. I wonder why. There is lots now.

You got two birds I’ve never seen. The short-eared owl and the yellow-headed blackbird. You are going to pass me if you haven’t already done ti.

I now have 203 species. I suspect you have more right now but I intend to beat you before I get back. I saw a long-billed curlew today. Who knew they would be in South Dakota? I felt like I was in Florida. I also saw upland sandpipers. When you are in the middle of the Badlands it is surreal to see shorebirds. The short-eared owl was very cool.
