The Beaverhill Bird Observatory has operated a field station near Tofield, Alberta since 1984. We teach visitors about bird biology and conservation, give educational talks at local schools, host a week-long Young Ornithologists' Workshop for high school students, and provide internships to university students so that they can gain hands-on experience in the natural sciences. Our research projects monitor the migration, reproductive success, and survivorship of numerous bird species and our data sets now span more than three decades. We also act as stewards of the internationally recognized Beaverhill Natural Area, where more than 270 species of birds have been observed and 145 are known to breed.
