A look inside

What the Wyoming pages actually look like

From the Wyoming edition

How the Wyoming year breaks down

Counted, not claimed

Of the 24 species, 10 are with you all year in Wyoming, 10 move only a short distance, and 4 leave the continent and come back.

Wyoming's fullest month is May, when 24 of them are reliably about; the quietest is January with 10. The presence chart shows every month for every species.

Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • Beginners who want to know which Wyoming birds they are actually likely to see
  • Feeder watchers and walkers keeping a list
  • Anyone teaching a child to notice what is out there

Not for

  • Experienced birders after a full Wyoming state checklist — this is the consistently-seen species, not every rarity

Everything here describes typical timing across Wyoming, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Wyoming pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.

Where it comes from

Compiled from

USGS Breeding Bird Survey · State fish & wildlife agencies. How each of these is used in the Wyoming edition, and which figures are measured rather than modeled, is set out in the methodology.

Questions

Before you decide

Is this specific to Wyoming, or a national guide with the name swapped in?

It is built from Wyoming's own data. The species list is the one recorded on Wyoming survey routes, ranked by how consistently each turns up — 24 species in this edition.

Where does the Wyoming species list come from?

It is drawn from the USGS Breeding Bird Survey routes that run through Wyoming, ranked by how consistently each species is recorded.

How accurate is the timing for Wyoming?

It describes typical timing across Wyoming drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Wyoming dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".

Is it worth paying when the Wyoming pages here are free?

The free Wyoming pages are the month you are in; this is the whole Wyoming year, planned before it arrives and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.

Will it work for my part of Wyoming, or just the big cities?

It is written at state resolution — Wyoming as a whole, with regional notes where Wyoming genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.

What format is the Wyoming edition, and can I print it?

A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Wyoming pages are made to be carried outside.

What if the Wyoming guide is not what I expected?

Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Wyoming edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
