The Christmas Bird Count Season is here!   

December 20, 8:00 AM – Cheyenne Christmas Bird Count

This is a free event open to the public.  Everyone, no matter what your birding skills, is invited.  Walk for a couple of hours or leave when you need to.  We will meet at the downtown Post Office at 8:00 a.m. 2120 Capitol Avenue.  Dress warmly with good boots or hiking shoes!  

If you are interested in participating, contact Grant Frost, 307-343-2024, so that he has a list of those expected, so he can let you know if the plans change for any reason such as stormy weather. 

You can also be a field observer on your own.  Birds will be counted within the Cheyenne “Count Circle”.  Check out the details in the December “Flyer” newsletter.  

We will have a Tally Party/Potluck at 6:00 p.m. at the home of Mark and Barb Gorges.  If you plan on attending, please let Barb know at bgorges4@msn.com.

Two events in early January 2026 to mark on your calendar!  

January 3 – Guernsey/Ft. Laramie Christmas Bird Count (Details in the January newsletter)

January 3, 10:00 a.m. – Wyoming State Museum “Family Days”

Join the Cheyenne High Plains Audubon on January 3rd from 10:00AM-2:00PM for a family day focused on winter in Wyoming.  Let’s learn more about the birds that migrate to Wyoming in time for winter and what their journeys look like along the way. 

Together, we’ll find out how these birds adapt to winter weather and changing conditions, including some neat physiological adaptations that make them expert winter survivalists.
