(Posted by Jason Frank <jmfran...@gmail.com> via moumn.org) Just wanted to let any potential Salt Lake birders know about Stone's Gate City Lodge in Gary, SD, which is a 25 minute trip south of Marietta. It's a 10-room lodge, very comfortable, and rooms are $45 per night. Some rooms have 2 or 3 beds. Call for reservations and they leave the key in the door for you.

There's a Woodcock lek on the west end of Gary, beneath the oak savanna by the West Branch of the Lac qui Parle River. There have been 6 males displaying there each night. The same site is full of bluebirds right now. Salamanders, gnats, and wood ticks are out and about. Pasqueflowers should be opening by this weekend.
