Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Cheyenne County Municipal Airport is assigned SYF by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned SYF to Silva Bay on Gabriola Island in British Columbia, Canada).
Shorebirds such as the Black Turnstone and Ruddy Turnstone frequent the island as do garden birds such as the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Thrushes, Warblers, Pileated Woodpeckers, and Flickers.
In early September 2005, an automobile accident knocked out phone service to about 70 Telus customers on Gabriola Island, one of whom required a direct 9-1-1 line due to a medical condition.
