Bird Watching Tips: Anytime of the
year can be interesting to visit The Nature Conservancy's Cheyenne
Bottoms Preserve as long as there is water in the marshes. But, spring
and fall are the best seasons to visit as migrating shorebirds,
waterfowl, and cranes can reach their peak numbers at this time.

spring and summer a good insect repellant would be advisable.
