E-gret! Birds are returning! - Third Week of April in Wyoming
Updated: Jun 19
Each week during migration, I provide a list of birds that are departing and arriving in Wyoming. This list is not exhaustive and only includes species seeing a significant shift in relative occurrence during the week posted. Remember, this represents data for the state as a whole. Your local area may experience slightly different dates/birds.
Without further ado, here is...
