Bird nerds notes
Before covid hit we had booked a camping trip to Writing on Stone and it worked out for us. We were hoping to see a yellow-breasted chat in Alberta but we were unsuccessful. There were a lot of great birds but some of our coolest sightings were foxes, antelopes, snakes, and skunks. We also birded in Lethbridge which beat our expectations and visited Pakowki Lake which was bumping with lots of different species.
