Bird Observatory Lab Opens May 1

We are pleased to be opening the Beaverhill Bird Observatory lab on May 1, 2012.

Meaghan Bouchard has returned for another field season and we are welcoming Amelie Roberto-Charron who is a student at the University of Alberta.

Banding occurs every morning during migration if the weather is suitable (no rain or strong winds).

We encourage you to come out and visit us. Although most of Beaverhill Lake is dry Lister has plenty of water and there are great waterfowl viewing opportunities.

Our staff can be contacted at 780-819-9927.

Check the website every two weeks for updates on species being captured or observed in the area. See you at the lab!

Please call to make sure someone will be on site (phone 780-819-9927). Check for lab updates on our Summaries page.
