September 20, 9:00 a.m. – Field Trip: Fall Migrants at the Wyoming Hereford Ranch
Cheyenne Audubon members invite anyone interested in birds, no matter their birdwatching skills, to join them on a free birding walk at the Wyoming Hereford Ranch Sept. 20 beginning at 9 a.m. until about noon. A variety of resident and migrating birds is expected.
The group will leave the Lions Park parking lot between the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens’ Children’s Village and the picnic shelter at 9 a.m. Carpooling should be available. WHR is about a ten-mile drive east on I-80. We expect to hike a mile or two over sometimes rough ground before returning to the vehicles.
Bring water and dress for variable weather. Bring binoculars if you have them.
If you are interested in going, contact Grant Frost, 307-343-2024, so that he has a list of those expected, and he can let you know if the plans change for any reason like bad weather.
