A Least Flycatcher in our local park. #albertabirds

I have seen the adults several times but I finally saw all the kits of our local Red Fox family. #albertamammals #alberta #redfox

Looks like we’re in for an exciting evening. #abstorm

“Exciting” may not have been the right word.

The last couple weeks have featured some great sparrows in my neighbourhood. 1) Swamp Sparrow in my backyard, 2) Lincoln’ Sparrow, 3) Fox Sparrow and 4) Dark-eyed Junco.

Lots of geese, ducks and swans this past weekend. 1) Snow Geese and a Ross’s Goose, 2) Wood Ducks, 3) Harlequin Ducks and 4) Trumpeter Swan. #albertbirds

I saw my first Bohemian Waxwing of Fall 2021, today. #abbirds #albertabirds

I need some help identifying a pair of footprints that I came across today. Found in a small drainage channel in Horseshoe Canyon, near Drumheller, AB. I suspect they are Wolverine but I’m not really sure. #albertawildlife #footprints #albertanature

My 8 year old and I went hiking in Horseshoe Canyon today and we were beyond excited to find a pair of Rusty Blackbirds (only one stuck around for photos). #albertabirds #abbirds

It’s #WorldGISDay! Our Resource Management Assistant Allison uses GIS mapping data for tracking fossil sites across Alberta. To support educational programming at the Museum, Allison created a fossil density map that helps students visualize fossil hotspots across the province.

Two lifers this week and it’s only Wednesday! Golden Eagle on Monday and Hoary Redpoll at lunch today. I will admit, I’m still a little buzzed.

Whether it’s in my yard, a farm field or a gravel road, it seems like Common Redpolls are everywhere this winter. #albertabirds

The last two days have shown some signs that spring is starting to return to this part of Alberta. 1. Tundra Swan; 2. American Wigeons; 3. Killdeer; 4. Northern Pintails. #albertabirds #albertanature

Hey Sam 'stream enterer' Sampson, look what I saw this morning!

Here’s a nice, stream-rounded equid metatarsal that just came to Royal Alberta Museum. It’s from the Peace region, and was collected as part of CRM work in Alberta. #FossilFriday #iceageAB #horses
