A good example is once when I was visiting Wyoming, I found a checklist from a few years earlier that had 750 Horned Larks, 100 Lapland Longspurs, and a Golden Eagle at a nondescript place called “Beef Unit.” As I said, I like including weather observations and appreciate when others do too.

Only several dozen of these swans wintered in the region (the region being, approximately, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming) and for some reason they were almost all at this river in this year, and on this day, they were right there in view. My sister told me they were Trumpeter Swans ( Cygnus buccinator ). All of them. Or almost so.

Chicks in nest in Wyoming. From pictures I saw, I thought a nest built using mud and looking like bricks neatly stacked was rather unique. But, seeing a actual barn swallow nest would imply either going to central Argentina or travel to northern latitudes during the breeding season. Photo: Alfredo Begazo.

One species, the Wyoming ground squirrel, spends only about three hours a day above the surface of the earth, and that only on days during the four months of the year when they are not hibernating. Almost the only universal thing that can be said about the ground squirrels is that they live on, and in, the ground.

Their range of breeding is literally only very southern Wyoming to very northern New Mexico. Try hiking a Colorado 14,000 foot mountain and your chances of having these guys at your feet rise exponentially. Most REAL montane species like this finch are declining in overall population. Thus, Colorado encapsulates most of their breeding range.
