Birds of Alberta with Chris Fisher

In Alberta, the first true colours of spring are purple and yellow. These are the colours that flowering prairie crocus display when they emerge from still-frozen soils but they are also worn by Sharp-tailed Grouse showing swollen purple neck sacs and Ru Paul-level yellow eyebrows as they dance among our first spring flowers.

Whooping Crane

The legendary story of our Whooping Crane, involves Alberta parks, Alberta scientists, and Alberta birds. And while few of us have ever seen one in the province – it may very well be the most iconic of the Birds of Alberta.

Common Goldeneye

While we have ducks and geese that are well-known, loved (and hated) elsewhere, there is one duck that Albertans may know better than anyone else. The Common Goldeneye does not really fit the duck prototype, but the way it moves and makes its living here in the province makes it a quirky stand-out among the quacking classes.
