March 28 – Field Trip: Table Mountain Wildlife Management Area sandhill crane migration
Cheyenne Audubon invites birders of every level and non-birders to experience sandhill crane migration near Yoder, Wyoming, about 75 miles north of Cheyenne, March 28, 3 p.m. – 9 p.m. The trip is free and open to the public.
Participants will leave Lions Park’s parking lot south of the Children's Village at 3 p.m. The group will rendezvous at about 4:15 p.m. at the game check station on Co. Rd. 42, about 0.75 miles west of U.S. 85 and the Pheasant Farm, continuing to the Table Mountain wildlife management area to watch the cranes return in flocks to their nighttime roosting area after they spend the day feeding in grain fields.
Participants should bring water, snacks, dinner and clothing for changing weather conditions.
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 so riders can be picked up on the way to Lions Park.
Please register for the trip with Grant Frost, 307-343-2024, so that he can contact you if plans change due to weather.
