SUMMARY:Bird Study Group Meeting (May 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 1\, 2024 \nTime: 7:30PM \nPresentation: Population trend analysis of common passerine migrants through Calgary – Results from over 25 years of banding by the Calgary Bird Banding Society at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary \nIn his talk Mathias will explain how bird banding data can be used to learn about population changes via trend analysis. He will present and discuss the results for the most commonly banded migrant bird species in Calgary. \nSpeaker Bio: Mathias Fenton is an Ecology and Biology instructor at Mount Royal University with a passion for birds and data analysis. He has been involved as a volunteer with the Calgary Bird Banding Society (CBBS) since 2012 after initially learning how to band birds during a summer job at Long Point Bird Observatory in Ontario. His interest in the collected data from migration monitoring conducted by CBBS at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary since 1995 led him to conduct and refine trend analysis to see how populations of the different bird species migrating through Calgary are changing over time.

SUMMARY:Glenbow Ranch Golf Cart Birding Trip
DESCRIPTION:The regular price is $40 per person. There is a discount code for NC members to get $10 off. Use Code NATURECALGARY24 \nGlenbow Ranch Provincial Park contains some of the last remaining foothills fescue grassland as well as a scattered mosaic of wetlands and wooded areas. This diverse habitat provides home to a wide variety of bird species. Unfortunately\, many of the best birding locations are far from the parking lot. Join GRPF Conservation Program Coordinator Blake Weis and Steward Annie Finch to visit the best locations on a golf cart tour of up to four hours where we’ll cover nearly 20 km of trail. \nWe are likely to see or hear around 30 to 50 bird species. During spring and fall migration we can expect to find a wide variety of migrating birds such as warblers\, sparrows\, and raptors. The breeding season offers grassland and foothills specialties like Vesper Sparrow\, Mountain Bluebird\, and Western Meadowlark as well as riparian species like Baltimore Oriole and many swallows\, sparrows\, and flycatchers. Some uncommon possibilities include Turkey Vulture\, Prairie Falcon\, Rock Wren\, Sprague’s Pipit and Spotted Towhee. Late September also boasts stunning fall colors and possibly some early fall waterfowl migration. \nDress for all weather as it can be cold in the morning but very hot by the middle of the day. Most of the park is open grassland and is very exposed to the elements. We recommend bringing a jacket\, hat\, sunscreen\, sunglasses\, water\, snacks\, and of course binoculars or a camera. \nMeet at the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park parking lot (255001 Glenbow Road\, Cochrane \, AB). \nThis tour is only recommended for children who are specifically interested in birds and bird watching. All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. \nThe program will run rain or shine! However\, if inclement weather prevents GRPF from delivering the program safely\, you will receive a full refund. \nDates for the fall will be added later in the summer\, keep your eyes peeled!
