Shawn Billerman and Libby Megna will lead a trip to our favorite national wildlife refuge and the lakes west of town (Plains Lakes) to view fall migrants and resident waterfowl, raptors, and shorebirds. Come and see what birds are stopping in Laramie to rest and refuel while on their long journeys south. Immature species are often difficult to identify, but Shawn and Libby are knowledgeable and helpful to novice (and expert!) birders in identifying birds in various plumage.
Bring your binoculars, field guides and spotting scope if you have one. Also bring plenty of water and snacks for the lengthy trip. Wear layers that are appropriate for changes in the weather. It's plenty windy at Hutton, so be prepared to hold on to your hat.
This trip will last several hours, maybe into the afternoon, but anyone in their own vehicle can return home early.
Meet at Night Heron Books and Coffeehouse in downtown Laramie on Ivinson Street near the railroad tracks at 8:00 a.m. to caffeinate and carpool. If you are driving your own vehicle, be sure to gas up ahead of time.
