Discovery Days: Birds, Beaks and Beyond

Ever wonder how far migratory species can travel? This May, spread your wings and follow these remarkable travelers as many journey back to Alberta just in time for the vibrant spring and summer seasons.

Alberta is a major migratory destination with over 400 species nesting and raising young here. Explore why our peaks and prairies, forests and wetlands make such worthwhile nurseries —and learn how healthy habitats support these winged travelers whose journeys connect continents.

Marvel at the science behind migration and the clever adaptations that help birds survive. Discover how you can ensure these journeys continue for future generations.

Between the flutter of wings overhead or the first songs of returning species or our nocturnal neighbours, there’s always something new to see, hear, and explore. Whether you’re a bird enthusiast or feeling a little bird-brained on the topic — keep pecking away at new discoveries and let your curiosity take flight!
