All Other Lands in South Dakota BCR 17

We obtained results for All Other Lands in South Dakota BCR 17 by compiling and analyzing data from one stratum.

Field technicians completed all planned surveys (100%) in 2025. Technicians conducted 142 point counts within the 12 surveyed grid cells between May 22 and June 23. They detected 88 bird species, including 18 priority species.

Bird Conservancy estimated densities (birds per square kilometer) for 116 species that were detected in any year during which surveys were conducted, 11 of which are priority species. The data yielded robust density estimates (CV < 50%) for 13 species.
