Yellow-headed Blackbird |
Today I saw two first-of-year birds. One was a bird I expected to see; the other was a bird I did not expect to see. The yellow and black bird pictured above, Yellow-headed Blackbird, is a common bird in my area, and usually arrives here in early April. The black and white bird pictured below, Laughing Gull, is a vagrant from the Atlantic Coast. Laughing Gulls are very rarely seen out here on the Great Plains. Whether common or uncommon, both birds showed up here this week, and thus I have added them to my South Dakota year list which now stands at 95.
