Introduction: It can probably be fairly said that Cheyenne County is the least birded county in the state. After San Juan, it is the hardest county in which to see 100 species. It probably has less surface water than any other county, including Clear Creek and San Juan! That said, there are a few hidden gems in Cheyenne County, such as a small and very hard to find Lesser Prairie-Chicken population and a few breeding pairs of Mountain Plovers. If you want a challenging county to bird, one that has not been thoroughly covered by other county listers, then this is your county.
