Birding in Wyoming
Wyoming's wide-open spaces, from the sagebrush ocean of the Red Desert to the towering Tetons, offer birding in some of America's most iconic wild landscapes.
Overview
Wyoming's rugged terrain and sparse population create ideal habitat for wide-ranging western species. Greater Sage-Grouse display on leks across the sagebrush steppe, Trumpeter Swans breed in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and the Tetons provide stunning mountain birding with American Dippers and Harlequin Ducks. Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks draw birders from around the world. TrailBird is expanding to cover Wyoming's birding hotspots with live eBird data, trail maps, and seasonal guides.
