September 14, 10:00 a.m. – Greenway Cleanup
Cheyenne Audubon is hosting a Greenway cleanup event, Sunday, September 14th. The public is invited to help.  The starting location is the parking lot adjacent to the intersection of Van Buren Avenue and Laramie Street (just north of East Lincolnway and east of its intersection with Pershing Blvd.). Work will proceed to the north along Dry Creek and should take a little over an hour.  Trash bags and light-weight gloves will be provided. Participants should wear sturdy footwear (preferably waterproof) and heavy gloves and bring rakes and hoes, if available, for fishing trash out of the creek.

September 16, 6:00 p.m. – Program: Lions Park Audubon Projects and Evening Birds (note the starting time)

This is a free event open to the public. Everyone is invited, no matter what your birding skills.
We will meet in the Lions Park parking lot between the Children’s Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens and the picnic shelter.  Our plan is to hike around the lake, doing an evening bird walk. But we will make strategic stops along the way to talk about the new signs that the chapter has commissioned to highlight the fact that the park is an official State Important Bird Area. We hope to have a dedication ceremony for the newly installed signs with the park in early October.
In addition, we will stop to look at and discuss some of the on-going and future work to establish native plants that are appropriate for our native pollinators. These are some of the areas in the park that are not mowed by the city.

September 20, 9:00 a.m. – Field Trip: Fall Migrants at the Wyoming Hereford Ranch

This is a free event open to the public. Everyone, no matter what your birding skills, is invited. Carpooling should be available.
We will leave from the Lions Park parking lot between the Children’s Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens and the picnic shelter. WHR is about a ten-mile drive east of town. We expect to hike a mile or two over sometimes rough ground before returning to our vehicles.
We should see a variety of resident and migrating birds including any fall warblers we can find.
Bring water and dress for variable weather. Bring binoculars if you have them. The more eyes we have, the more birds we will see. We should be back in town by noon.
