I was able to get out a couple days late in the month to explore areas around the Big Sioux River as well as chase an exquisite sunset into Turner County. From these forays come this month's favorite dozen photos.

I did, however, get to shoot photos from the sidelines during my nephews 9A Football Championship game. Also, I was able to take a leisurely day of backroads on my way back from visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday. This trip yielded great birding opportunities as the last of the snow geese were on their way through and plenty of raptors were around. At Blue Blanket lake alone, I saw up to eight bald eagles keeping their eye on a group of geese resting near the last of the open water. I didn't know if I'd be able to have a full dozen photos to show this month, but the post Thanksgiving trip also produced a superb sunset in Clark County as you will see below.

But like most things wonderful, it is fleeting. I happened to be in Butte County, SoDak when the first sunlight of October, 2021 cleared the horizon and bathed the wide open prairie with warm light. Just north of Hoover, I stopped to get a photo of the Autumn colored trees along the south fork of the Moreau River with the Deers Ears Buttes in the far distance. Later I stood atop a rock outcropping taking in the fall colors accenting the Cave Hills in Harding County. You will rarely see a "selfie" here on this photo blog, but I'm adding one this month. Mostly to remember the glorious day that was. As the month moved along, I was able to spend a couple afternoons and evenings on the complete opposite corner of the state at Palisades State Park. This little park is an Autumn wonder if you can catch the leaf change and evening light right. It was tough to see another Fall season wane away, but all good things must come to an end I'm told.

Getting out into nature was also tough for yours truly with a very busy regular work schedule. Typically I chase rainbows and storm clouds on weekends and evenings in July, but storms and rain were few and far between this year. Even so, there was enough rain on the eastern side of SD and southwestern MN, that wildflowers were still found and enjoyed. I also looked for the federally endangered Western Prairie Fringed Orchid over a couple weekends in Rock County, MN to no avail. Then a friend told me where I could find this elusive (but quite showy and lovely) wildflower up in southeastern ND at the Sheyenne National Grasslands. So I spent a long Saturday on the road to find and photograph the wildflower with a couple stops at a few favorite places in northeastern SD on the way back. Here are the photos from all these July forays for you.

The weather was fine, but I was swamped with work at the day job. A couple images shown here are composites of time lapses I created for said day job. The traffic light photos of downtown Sioux Falls were created from around 20 to 25 minutes of multiple long exposure traffic shots. These images were all pulled together into time lapses used to support Midco Sports Network's basketball tournament coverage. Later in the month I found the first blooming pasqueflowers (for me) of the young spring season. Then at the very end of the month I took a trip to the Fort Pierre area to sit in a blind in order to watch the Greater Prairie-chickens dance and boom for their hens on a lek in rural Stanley County. All in all, it was pretty photogenic month as far as Marches go.

text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A relatively mild January brought a couple opportunities to get out into the world with camera in hand. This winter has brought more owl activity than any in recent memory. Particularly an abundance of short-eared owls in many locations. A particular group near Brookings has been the highlight of many birding enthusiasts since after Christmas. The evening I made it up there brought beautiful golden light to watch three hunt over a hayfield near the Big Sioux southwest of town. Later in the month, I heard there were no less than four snowy owls in the Redfield area, so I took a Sunday afternoon drive to investigate. I was able to see and photograph three individuals including a very white male shown as the last photo in this post. As January's go, this one was a good one.
