Wyoming birds on exhibit

In northcentral Wyoming, birds benefit from a conservation easement on more than 11,000 acres of Ucross Ranch. On the property, a conservation program run by Ucross Foundation and the Wyoming chapter of The Nature Conservancy aims "to promote the idea that commerce, aesthetic beauty and the environment are mutually compatible."

Photographer Ernesto Scott focused on the ranch's aesthetic beauty and birds, and his work now appears in an exhibit until Sept. 14 at Ucross Foundation Art Gallery at 30 Big Red Lane in Clearmont.
