Birds of Wyoming

Wyoming has around 450 documented birds accepted by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. While around 100 of these are accidental dwellers, seven have been introduced.

It is a less populated state with a rich and varied topography from mighty mountains to scenic plains, making it an ideal birding destination. Some prominent birding hotspots include Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge. Birds like the trumpeter swan, golden eagle, cinnamon teal, and American dipper inhabit here.

The official state bird of Wyoming is the western meadowlark, first appointed in 1927.
