With our Owl Monitoring Program finishing up on Oct 31st, it is officially a wrap for the 2022 monitoring season at the LSLBO! Thank you to our amazing field crew (Robyn, Bronwyn and Nola) and all of the enthusiastic volunteers who helped out during another busy season at our station. What a team!![]()

We are able to do what we do because of the support that we receive from Alberta Conservation Association, Environment and Climate Change, Vanderwell, West Fraser Timber, Tolko, Alberta Parks, Canada Summer Jobs as well as all of our members, volunteers and donors. Thank you for everything you have done for our programs this year and see you next spring!
Thank you Robert Deacon!![]()

At our recent Saw-whet Social, the Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory Society thanked Robert Deacon for over 22 years of dedicated volunteerism and leadership until his well-deserved retirement from the board this fall. First elected as Chair in 1999, Bob’s unwavering commitment to the LSLBO and his passion for the creation of the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation with Alberta Parks have been instrumental in our success. As chair, Bob has left an incredible legacy for both the LSLBO and bird conservation. Since the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation opened in 2006, over 80,000 visitors from around the world have gained a greater appreciation for the boreal forest and our birds. We have connected over 120,000 participants of all ages to the wonder of nature in our exciting education and outreach programs. LSLBO avian monitoring programs have banded over 100,000 birds while supporting innovative research projects from across the country. ![]()

Thank you Bob for everything you have done! From the Board, Staff and Members of the LSLBO.
Captures of Northern Saw-whet Owls have slowed dramatically, but the nets still have some surprises in store! This Barred Owl caught late last night is only the 7th we have ever banded.
