Cache Reward
 The American red squirrel is the ultimate larder hoarder of Wyoming’s coniferous forests. As the shorter, cooler days of autumn arrive, a tree squirrel’s instincts kick in and it begins to gather and store as much food as possible. Some species store it all in one place — in a larder of sorts, no different than the pantry in your kitchen — while others scatter it all around in countless hiding places, similar to an Easter egg hunt.

Hot and uncontrolled fall fires can cause devastating damage to the surrounding communities and affect hunting seasons and wildlife habitats.

Viral disease detected in birds around the state
The detection of avian paramyxovirus, a viral disease that often affects doves and pigeons, was recently found in Wyoming. Eurasian collared-doves from Casper, Green River, Riverton and Rock Springs tested positive for avian paramyxovirus, which can spread rapidly in areas where birds congregate and can cause large die-offs in pigeon and dove populations.
