While Kris and Dave love backyard birding, we also have a love for other things nature and have taken up scuba diving when we get the chance. We try to combine camping with much of what we do in the summer and love the chances to travel around Alberta and Canada checking out the birds. We want to use this page to post links to neat sites that we like and great places that we have been. We are big supporters of BUY LOCAL, and have added links to great places in and around Calgary to shop, eat, visit and stay. There will be birding sites along with other neat ideas and places to go and see the wonderful nature that is always around us.
