August 16, 7:00 a.m. – Field Trip: Snowy Range Birding Hike

This is a free event open to the public. Everyone, no matter what your birding skills, is invited. Carpooling should be available, but let Grant know when you call him (see below).
We will leave from the Lions Park parking lot between the Children’s Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens and the picnic shelter and drive to Libby Lake Picnic Site parking lot. This is about a 90-mile drive (an hour and a half) to the start of our hike in the Medicine Bow National Forest. We expect to hike a mile or two over rocky and sometimes wet ground before returning to our vehicles.
We should see a variety of mountain birds such as White-crowned Sparrow and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. We will be searching for the Fox Sparrow and any warblers we can find.
Bring lunch or a snack; 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 before 5:00 p.m.
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.
