Where to see a Merlin in South Dakota

The Merlin is regularly recorded in the counties of 11 South Dakota state parks (eBird historical checklists). The strongest bets:

1. Angostura Reservoir State Recreation Area
2. Hartford Beach State Park
3. Newton Hills State Park
4. Good Earth State Park
5. Union Grove State Park
6. Lake Alvin State Recreation Area
7. Richmond Lake State Recreation Area
8. Sandy Shore State Park
9. Custer State Park
10. Custer State Park Airport
11. Custer State Park - Norbeck Wildlife Preserve

These are county-level records — the species is documented in the area around each park, which is a strong steer rather than a guarantee for the park itself.
