Start the New Year off right by joining us for the Bates Hole Christmas Bird Count.  This is one of the few truly rural Christmas Counts in the country, and a really great way to start the New Year.  While it can be cold, it is usually clear and calm in Bates Hole which is a real contrast with the windy and cold that is normal in Casper on January 1.  With little to no wind, the snow just sitting on top of the sagebrush is really beautiful.  So join us for a fun day, or half a day it that is all the time you have.  Call Stacey Scott at 307-262-0055 or Charlie Scott at 307-473-2512 for more information.
