It was a winter wonderland for the 31st Annual Slave Lake Christmas Bird Count last Sunday but we managed to find some birds in all that snow including a new species for our count (Grey Partridge) and a lot of waxwings! Thank you to the 28 people who braved the snowy weather and watched their feeders to record 2602 birds from 20 different species. ![]()

A big thank you to all the participants in our 31st Annual Slave Lake Christmas Bird Count today. After our team breakfast, everyone has headed out to see how many birds we can find in the Slave Lake area. Wish us luck spotting them in all this snow!
