2025 Annual Report
For over 30 years, the LSLBO has strived to learn more about the migratory and breeding bird populations at Lesser Slave Lake. Even though it seems like winter will never end this season, we are already spotting some of our early migrant species arriving in the area. Spring Migration Monitoring will begin in mid to last April depending on weather condition. Wish us luck!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Supporting our station as a volunteer is an invaluable contribution to our programs. Check out our volunteer page for more information and our on-line application form! We look forward to hearing from you.

Public Bird Observatory Tours
Every Wednesday and Saturday during August
During fall migration, take the opportunity to learn more about the fall migration monitoring program at the LSLBO with one of our public tours this summer. Drop-in at the station anytime between 9 and 11 am every Wednesday and Saturday morning for a family friendly tour including hands-on activities for the kids. Experience our research an monitoring programs with our banders, learn why we study these migratory birds and hopefully have the opportunity to observe the bird banding process. These tours are free, but donations are greatfully accepted to support our programs! Location: The LSLBO is located on the Lily Creek Group Use road just north of the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation.
Fall Fieldtrips are coming soon!

School will be starting soon, so that means that it will soon be time for fall fieldtrips and the start of our owl monitoring programs. Bring your students or community group to the Boreal Centre for an evening owl program or our educators can come to your classroom to introduce you the amazing world of owls. And of course, we will also be hosting special public owl night programs this fall- stay tuned for dates!
