Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge
48.49 N   100.72 W
This refuge, in "pothole" country, has grassland sparrows as well as waterbirds in the marshes and along the Souris River.

Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge
48.47N   102.51 W
Sparrows can be fun! Le Conte's, Baird's, Grasshopper and Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow are here. Sharp-tailed Grouse is the area specialty.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park
46.97 N   103.45 W
This badlands area is good for western species. Riparian areas along the river are often productive. Watch for Spotted Towhee, Lazuli Bunting and Bullock's Oriole.
