In the spring, the water comes back to southern Saskatchewan. And so do the birds. Expert birder Lori Wilson takes us on a road trip to the prairie pothole region and to the saline lakes of the Old Wives Watershed. In grassy ponds and salty mudflats, we meet long-legged plovers, sandpipers, dowichers, and many more migrating and resident shorebirds.
Thank you to our trip leaders Jared Clarke and Lori Wilson and to fellow birders Dale, Gary, Hiro, Ingrid and Paula.
