http://birdingbybike.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. I have created this blog to document my attempt at a BIGBY. Ear) in 2010. I will use non-motorized means of transport (eg, walk, bike, ski, etc.) to see as many bird species as possible within the city limits of Calgary, Alberta. A list of the different green birding categories and definitions, including BIGBY, can be found at Green Birding in Central California.

Birding By Bike: January 2010
http://birdingbybike.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. And I noted scattered flocks of Bohemian Waxwings and Common Redpolls. I arrived at the park shortly before ten, after a 90 minute trip. Altalink. Does not work weekends, fortunately, and except for the drone from the nearby highway, the woods were quiet. Like most boreal species, the bird was tame and approachable, and I was afforded great views as it flaked off bark searching for beetles. Its back was almost entirely white, typical of the nominate dorsalis. To get a quick lo...

Birding By Bike: April 2010

Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Gulls, Gulls, Gulls. I cycled north to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. This evening to check on the large numbers of gulls that congregate at the sanctuary each spring, stopping to drink and bathe on the gravel bars on their way to and from the East Calgary Landfill. While enjoying the gull another birder, Ray, came over to where I was standing, he had just found an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull upstream! Sunday, April 18, 2010.

Birding By Bike: February 2010
http://birdingbybike.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. Crossbills in the Willow. Three Red Crossbills were photographed at the beginning of January from the Willow Park. Several other crossbills were calling and singing from surrounding trees, the majority were White-winged Crossbills, but there were at least two additional Red Crossbills. A magpie flew into a nearby poplar to investigate the noise and commotion, scattering the crossbills. Famished and cold, I quickly headed over to Southcentre Mall. Saturday, February 13, 2010.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010. With the the shift to daylight saving time, giving me more time to bird after work, it seemed like a perfect evening to get my BIGBY Northern Saw-whet Owl.
