The Beaverhill Bird Observatory has been conducting research in and around Alberta for the past
25 years. Our main area of interest is monitoring songbird populations during the migration and
breeding seasons. This includes mist netting and banding, and daily census (point counts and
walking surveys). Recently we have also implemented raptor-monitoring programs such as
Northern Saw-whet Owl fall migration monitoring.
