That is according to Gillette Police Detective Alan Stuber, who made that comment during AARP Wyoming’s Legislative Preview Webinar for Wyoming Legislators held Tuesday.
The events will take place in Laramie, Sheridan, and Cheyenne and feature Zach Hutchinson, Community Science Coordinator with Audubon of the Rockies, teaching participants how to spot, identify, and observe birds in their natural habitat.
I’ll celebrate my 10th year anniversary with AARP this year. When I started, I could not have fully anticipated how deeply this mission would become part of my life. What began as a professional opportunity quickly grew into a calling—one grounded in listening to older Wyomingites, working alongside passionate volunteers, and advocating for policies that help people live with dignity, independence, and purpose.

Birdwatching is no longer a niche hobby. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study shows that 16% of Americans travel specifically to go birding, with particularly strong participation among adults age 55 and older. It’s accessible, mentally engaging, and easy to enjoy, whether you travel far or stay close to home.
The sessions are led by Zach Hutchinson, Community Science Coordinator for the Audubon Rockies, who brings deep knowledge of bird identification, migration behavior, and modern birding tools—especially digital resources that make bird watching easier and more accurate than ever.

Now in its tenth year, AARP will double its investment, awarding over $8 million in grants as part of its nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents, especially those age 50 and older.
Wyoming’s Audubon chapters and regional office already offer year-round activities, including field trips, nature talks, “Mindful Birding,” and online classes through Audubon Rockies.
As Wyoming and Cheyenne specifically experience a boom in data center builds, a common concern arises whether the additional energy demand from data centers will result in higher power prices for Wyoming residents. At least two local experts don’t believe that will be the case — at least not directly.
