I'm a bit of a big year historian myself (or nerd as my wife prefers) and I just remembered Vardaman missing Baird's in western MN and then going on to SD for his target bird. I looked it up in the book and he found several Baird's at the Ordway Prairie 7 miles west of Leola, SD. I know this sparrows range has shrank quite a bit since 1979 and I imagine this area is no longer good for them?
