picked up a pup yesterday in sd...impressed with bird #'s...about a rooster every 1/2 mile...saw some hens, too...imagine they are getting ready to nest...overall, wet, but looking pretty good.

Man, that is great to hear.
Will be interested to see what the fall road counts are.
 
Heard back from a land owner today and his synopsis was similar to your report. Was encouraging to hear and better than I had expected to be honest. Thanks for the first hand update!
 
These reports are encouraging but my experience was not the same. I left Watertown, SD about 7:00 AM this past Thursday. Took Hwys 20 and 45 to Webster, then Hwy 12 to Aberdeen and then 281 up to Jamestown, ND. In those 200 miles I saw only a handful of birds along the road. Guess the road survey in August will give us a better picture.

kind of makes sense based on that geographic area....
