[cobirds] Speaking of Hereford Ranch/Cheyenne

I joined up with the Audubon trip to Hereford Ranch last Saturday.   We were treated by Dr Hale (Owner) with access to the western portion of the property accessing Crow Creek riparian corridor from (new) Campstool Road (water treatment plant on west side) to the Hereford Reservoir two miles to the west.  Dr Hale said call them up if you wish to access this section of Hereford Ranch.  Dr Hale was great leader shared the history of the ranch and you can tell by his passion how much he loves the ranch.

Once you get permission (http://wyomingherefordranch.com/contact.htm) to access--you take Old Campstool Road (dirt road just before (.2m) Hereford Ranch driveway on west) about .5m (or 1.0m) to two gated entrances.  Open and close gates behind you--even the interior ones.  They own property from the Water Treatment fence line all the way to the reservoir about a two mile hike along Crow Creek.

I was tracking the birds during the trip:

        Canada Goose
        Mallard
        Red-tailed Hawk
        Belted Kingfisher
        Downy Woodpecker
        Northern Flicker
        *Red-bellied Woodpecker*
        Blue Jay
        Black-billed  Magpie
        Common Raven
        Horned Lark
        Black-capped Chickadee
        Mountain Chickadee
        Red-breasted Nuthatch
        *Eastern Bluebird (2)*
        Mountain Bluebird
        American Robin
        European Starling
        Yellow-rumped Warbler
        Song Sparrow
        White-crowned Sparrow
        Dark-eyed Junco
        House Finch
        American Goldfinch
        House Sparrow
