    Killdeer

    2026-03-24 | 24 mins.
    Killdeer are birds that are aggressively tolerant with a parenting instinct that is so strong it can override many of the stressors that they inevitably face when nesting in in open and highly disturbed areas. They have, in a strange way –the perfect temperament for success to thrive in modern Alberta. That may be one of the reasons, Killdeer are among the most encountered among all the Birds of Alberta.

    California Gull

    2026-03-05 | 21 mins.
    Our Alberta landscape has changed dramatically in the last century. We’ve built croplands, reservoirs, landfills, industrial parks, and sprawling suburbs. And California Gulls have looked at all that and said, “Alright. Yeah I can work with this.”
    California Gulls are treasures among the common gulls of Alberta. They are showy, social and complex. And the way they live, fits perfectly within our Alberta culture.

    Merlin

    2026-03-01 | 26 mins.
    Merlins are pretty well-known residents of our cities where they thrill us by zooming overhead and preying on swarms of sparrows, finches and waxwings. They are also well-known in rural areas hitting up the swarms of buntings and redpolls that make the southern journey to the prairies. While they occur around the northern areas of the planet, there may be no place better than right here in Alberta to experience the Merlin - our little feathered rockets. Hosted on Acast.

    Bohemian & Cedar Waxwings

    The great looks of Bohemian and Cedar Waxwings pair the French dynasty pompadour with the eye make-up of an Egyptian princess - but for Alberta birders, waxwings are so much more than just great looks. Cedar Waxwings are the iconic bird of our summer months while Bohemian Waxwings are the icon of winter. Both are THE calendar birds of of the province that provide a innate connection to our parks, gardens, yards and forested areas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
