Cheyenne Audubon invites the public for a free program, “Birding in Cuba,” Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Cottonwood Room at the Laramie County Library, 2200 Pioneer Ave., featuring guest speaker Vicki Herren.

Herren describes birding in Cuba: How to get there and what to see. In February 2024 she traveled with five other birders on a 9-day trip guided by Cuban Adventures, from the mountains to the marshes. They counted 114 bird species of which 16 were endemic, found nowhere else. Herren started birdwatching the 1980s and took her first international trip in 1993 to Costa Rica. She’s been on numerous trips to South and Central America and was eager to make the trip to Cuba.
