City Nature Challenge Urban Habitats: Carburn Park

Carburn Park showcases a wide variety of urban riparian habitat along the Bow River. It is notorious for great birding and wildlife experiences and will surely be an excellent City Nature Challenge outing. Expect to see plenty of waterfowl, plants, mammals, butterflies, and maybe even some amphibians!  Keep an eye out for pelicans and osprey as they are known to make an appearance around this time of year.
