Fremont County Birding 

Resources:
  • Species list of birds found in Fremont County
  • Info about Riverton WMA
  • Loess Hills Birding Guide from Loess Hills Alliance
  • Iowa Ornithologists' Union - The Iowa Ornithologists' Union was founded in 1923, bringing together a group of people interested in the study and enjoyment of wild birds. 
  • Iowa Birding Facebook Group - The purpose of this group is to provide a forum in which Iowa's birders (and those with an interest in Iowa birding) can share information and express their general interest in birds.
  • Iowa Young Birders - Founded in 2011 to encourage young Iowans ages 8-18 to study and enjoy birds and birding...all around Iowa.
  • Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas - The Breeding Bird Atlas is a five-year project beginning in 2008, continuing through 2012. The project is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists’ Union and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. There are a total of 791 3 by 3 mile blocks statewide, and our goal is to have each of these blocks sufficiently surveyed (20 hours of observation in each block) at the end of the five-year period. With the data collected, we will be able to see nesting distribution of Iowa’s breeding birds throughout the state of Iowa, as well as, compile a current list of birds actually nesting within the state.
  • Cornell Lab of Ornithology - Dedicated to advancing the understanding and protection of the natural world, the Cornell Lab joins with people from all walks of life to make new scientific discoveries, share insights, and galvanize conservation action.
  • National Audubon Society - Audubon protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow.
  • Audubon Society of Omaha - dedicated to the active promotion of environmental awareness to our community through education, conservation and enjoyment of our natural heritage, especially birds. 
  • Sibley Bird Guides - Many birders consider these books to be the best. ​
