Bird nerds notes
For this expedition we rented a minivan and hit up some of the best birding places in Southeastern Alberta (Writing on Stone, Medicine Hat, and Dinosaur Provincial Park). We got very lucky with the weather and saw some days hitting close to 40 celcius. The birds were abundant and we also got in a couple of mountain bike rides.
