Help scientists learn more about bird populations by taking part in Project FeederWatch!

Project FeederWatch begins today, marking the 40th anniversary season! Observe birds at your feeder each week, and you can help researchers across North America understand how bird populations are changing. Your participation makes a real difference for conservation and connects a community of birders together across the country.

New to Project FeederWatch? Join us for the 40th season Takeoff Webinar! It will be on November 5th, 7:00pm – 7:45pm EST. Tune in and we’ll walk you through FeederWatch step-by-step, show you how to record your observations and share tips for welcoming your feathered guests this winter. We’ll have time for a live Q&A too!

‼The Government of Alberta has removed habitat protections for the critically endangered greater sage-grouse with no public consultation or announcement. Helium extraction is moving forward on the formerly protected habitat.

📉There are fewer than 100 individuals of this magnificent, sensitive bird remaining in southeastern Alberta. University of Alberta professor and biologist Mark Boyce was quoted in a recent CBC article saying, “I think the birds are toast. I think we’re going to lose them all.”

🚫🎈Nature Alberta is calling on you to boycott the use of helium balloons while helium extraction is moving into critical greater sage-grouse habitat. The only inflated party balloons we need long-term are the ones on the chests of greater sage-grouse floating around leks in southern Alberta!

We also encourage you to contact the Minister of Environment and Protected Areas at [email protected] and your local MLA, especially if you live in southern Alberta, and voice your concern for sage-grouse and their habitat.
