Where to see a Red-tailed Hawk in South Dakota

The Red-tailed Hawk is regularly recorded in the counties of 14 South Dakota state parks (eBird historical checklists). The strongest bets:

1. Angostura Reservoir State Recreation Area
2. Oakwood Lakes State Park
3. Palisades State Park
4. Union Grove State Park
5. Richmond Lake State Recreation Area
6. Lake Hendricks State Recreation Area
7. Custer State Park

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.
