SUMMARY:Glenbow Ranch Birding Tour
DESCRIPTION:*Please note – this event is hosted by Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. Please see their registration system for details and direct all inquiries related to registration to the Foundation. \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 colours and possibly some early fall waterfowl migration. \nPlease see Glenbow Ranch’s registration site for pricing and other information. \nNature Calgary members will receive a discount code for this event in the monthly event newsletters starting in early April. If you are a Nature Calgary member and you cannot find the discount code\, please email communications@naturecalgary.com. Please direct any other inquiries about the event to the Glenbow Ranch Part Foundation.

SUMMARY:North Glenmore
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful Field Trip. We start at Parking Lot C at 9:00am and follow the reservoir for the first bit before heading away from the shore. Because of the combined reservoir\, wetland\, plus spruce trees we see quite a variety of birds and mammals; all year long. The trip is suitable for most abilities\, but not for wheelchairs or walkers. We are off the paved bike path for most of the trip. There are lots of benches to take a rest. There are port-a-potties on most of the parking lots. Last Saturday of each month at North Glenmore Park. Generally a two hour field trip at a comfortable pace. Register with leader: Penny Smith (403 807-8137).
