Big Year Bird Checklist for Wyoming

A free printable Wyoming bird checklist. Pick your goal, get the PDF.

Outline of Wyoming

Wyoming's checklist is the sagebrush-and-mountains classic. Yellowstone and the Wind River high country sit above the most intact sage-steppe in the country.

The tool builds you a printable checklist of every bird realistically possible in Wyoming, grouped by family, with seasonal markers and a space to log the date you spot each one. It's drawn from public, license-clean records — not a generic national list, but the species that actually occur where you're birding.

Pick Wyoming (or any area inside it), choose your goal — Big Day, Big Month, Big Year, or a life list — and download the PDF. Free, no account, no email. Print it, fold it in a field guide, and start checking birds off.

What you'll find on a Wyoming checklist

A Wyoming checklist mixes widespread residents with the specialties that make the state worth a big year. A few you'll want to target:

  • Greater Sage-Grouse — The sagebrush-sea flagship lek.
  • Sage Thrasher — Sagebrush songster.
  • Sagebrush Sparrow — Big-sage specialist.
  • Brewer's Sparrow — Sage-steppe buzzer.
  • Black Rosy-Finch — High-peak specialty.
  • White-tailed Ptarmigan — Alpine-zone resident.
  • Trumpeter Swan — Restored wetland giant.
  • Harlequin Duck — Mountain-whitewater stream duck.
  • American Three-toed Woodpecker — Burned-conifer specialist.
  • Clark's Nutcracker — Whitebark-pine specialist.
  • Mountain Bluebird — Open-country sky-blue.
