Meet at the dirt parking lot on the NW corner of 26th Street SE and Gosling Way SE – we will possibly carpool down to a safer access point.  Directions: From Deerfoot: take 17th Avenue east, turn south on 26th Street SE, drive 1.7 km to Gosling Way, turn right and immediately right again into the dirt parking lot. This is the first week that the Irrigation Canal is drained creating a new habitat for migrating birds.  All welcome. Leader, Dave Russum, 403-284-4775.
