Painted Bunting in Slim
Buttes, Deer Draw
Custer National Forest, Harding County, SD
May 26, 2011
I first saw this bird feeding on the dirt road with some Chipping Sparrows. I
only managed a couple of shots as it moved uphill and out of sight. I looked for
it for several days but never saw it again. I believe this is the 3rd record of
Painted Bunting for South Dakota.
