“Sightings of bald eagles in Calgary have been soaring in recent weeks, with some birdwatchers spotting as many as 20 of them in a single day along the Bow River near the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.”

See the full article from the Calgary Herald.

Join the RMERF fall count (September 20 to November 15) to see the count numbers for bald eagles and golden eagles and compare with the activity from the spring.

The Sep 2019 Wildlands Advocate published by the Alberta Wilderness Association Journal, recently wrote an article about RMERF on page 4 if interested. The article Citizens Putting the “C” Into Conservation discussed a bit about the history of RMERF and its accomplishments with the addition of comments about the 2018 count final report and the decrease in number of eagles.
