Bird nerds notes
A sure sign of Spring in Alberta is when mountain bluebirds move into the bird-boxes that dot the prairies. These birds are insanely vibrant and seeing them is always great! Driving from the West side of Calgary to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park we spotted 4 different pairs. Brown-Lowery is a nice place for a short hike but we rarely see many birds. On this trip though we saw grey jays, a varied thrush, and a junco.
