Nesting Season is Here

Did You Know?

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) female chooses the nest site and builds the nest. An average of 180 trips a day, with mud or grass is necessary to finish the nest in two to six days.

In southern Canada, the first clutch, or set of eggs, is laid in late April or early May. Why are American Robin’s eggs blue? The blue colour is due to biliverdin, a pigment deposited on the eggshell.

Birds of Prey Centre in Coaldale

Open only Fri/Sat/Sun until June 20th

Higher biliverdin levels indicate a healthier female and brighter blue eggs.

Eggs laid by a healthier female seemed to encourage males to take more interest in their young.

Nestlings fledge their nest at approximately 13 days old.

The American Robin has an extendible esophagus.

This can be useful in winter, when the bird may store fruits in the esophagus before it settles for the night. This probably allows the robin to survive low nighttime temperatures.

Choose your Adventure!

June is a Month full of possibilites for outdoor adventure!

Taking opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities shouldn't be considered an indulgence as they provide so many benefits for mind, body and spirit.

Outdoor recreation provides tons of benefits including the prevention or reduction of stress, improved self-esteem, confidence and creativity and spiritual growth.

Bike the trails, hike the coulees, paddle the river or explore the river bottom, make up an obstacle course in your yard or at the park, try geocaching, birdwatching, rock collecting, play frisbee golf, bocce,or beach ball volleyball, learn a new outdoor game, set up a hammock, camp out in your backyard, go fishing, play some soccer or go for a run around your block. The options are endless so get outside and have an adventure!
