Birdwatching 

Alberta is the only place in North America where the prairie, boreal forest and mountain ecosystems coexist. As a result, the province is a haven for indigenous and migratory birds — more than 400 species, and counting.

From the northern nesting grounds of the endangered whooping crane and summer home of the rare trumpeter swan to the protected burrowing owl in central Alberta and hundreds of golden eagles migrating across our southern border, get ready for birding opportunities of a lifetime, particularly in spring and fall.
