Ferruginous Hawk Trail Camera 2021

Species Info

Species at Risk

Although the peregrine falcon and the ferruginous hawk get a lot of attention because they are obviously excessively cool, there are many other interesting species that are considered to be Species at Risk, and there is no good reason not to learn about them! For example, the greater sage grouse is a very unique looking upland bird and there are very few left in Alberta. Also check out some of the bat conservation initiatives in Alberta.

For further reading, you can read some Species at Risk Conservation Stories, or find more Species at Risk publications and resources.

Nest 1

April 16, 2021

Image

From Three to Four

The quickest egg-laying hawks out of the bunch - we have four eggs already!


April 9, 2021

Image

Egg Alert!

Looks like we have not one, not two, but THREE eggs in this nest already!


April 7, 2021

Image

Triple Threat!

For the first time ever we have 3 cameras on 3 Ferruginous hawk nest sites!


March 12, 2021

Image

One of our Ferruginous Hawks is back!

Last year this same hawk couple returned on March 9th, and this year they came back on the 5th, only 4 days difference. We have an exciting summer ahead - egg laying, bumbling chicks, ground squirrel munching, and more!

Nest 2

April 16, 2021

Image

Under Construction

After some construction delays from windstorms, nest building is back in full swing.


April 9, 2021

Image

Show-off

Showing off those beautiful rust colours for the camera! We are glad to report that all 3 nests are now occupied; eggs and hawk chicks incoming!


April 7, 2021

Image

Who Ordered All This Snow?

Currently all three nests have hawks and there is lots of nest building going on to prepare for a summer of protecting eggs and raising chicks.


March 19, 2021

Image

The Birds are Back!

We're welcoming a nesting pair back to nest two - they're already busy prepping for the season!

Nest 3

April 16, 2021

Image

Eggs Incoming?

Lots of hawk cuddling going on at this nest... eggs must be coming soon!


April 9, 2021

Winter Sun

When it's -02°C, you've gotta soak up as much sun as you can.


April 7, 2021

Image

The Birds are Back!

Historically, Ferruginous Hawk nests were partially constructed of the bones and wool of bison. Does this mean the hawks used to hunt bison? No, no it doesn't, but it's fun to imagine.

Stay Tuned...

No hawks spotted at this nest site yet, but stay tuned - they'll be back soon!
