Species recorded in Wyoming
June 22-July 2, 2004

From June 22 through July 2 (first and last days were partial) I visited 16 counties in Wyoming. The table below will give you an idea of where I did the most birding based on the percentage of my sighting records. In the species list that follows, each species is followed by three numbers representing number of locations, number of counties and number of individuals. For example, White-throated Swift was seen in 4 locations in 3 counties totaling 50 individuals. Abbreviations -- "X"  means # of individuals not recorded; "*" means more than 100; "+" means at least, probably more present.
