March 29, 3:00 p.m. – Field Trip: Table Mountain Wildlife Management Area: Sandhill Crane Migration

Sandhill Cranes by Mark Gorges

We will leave the Lions Park parking lot south of the Children’s Village at 3 p.m. Carpooling should be available but check with Grant (see below) if you will need a ride.
Our field trips are free and open to the public. Anyone interested in birds is welcome. 

We are going to Table Mountain to watch Sandhill Cranes return in flocks to their nighttime roosting area after they spend the day feeding in grain fields. We will also be looking for migrating waterfowl along the way.

The management area is about 75 miles north of Cheyenne, near Yoder, WY. The trip is free, open to the public, and non-birders of all ages are encouraged to join us to learn about the birds we see.

We expect to be back in Cheyenne by 9 p.m. Be sure to bring water, something for yourself to eat and dress for changing weather.  If you want to carpool but don’t want to leave your car in the parking lot in the evening, when you call Grant, let him know if you want a ride or riders and let’s see if we can make arrangements to arrive at the park already matched up.  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.
