Stories of a Young Botanist and Adventurer of the Canadian Prairies: Botanizing at last!
http://ayoungbotanist.blogspot.com/2014/07/botanizing-at-last.html
Stories of a Young Botanist and Adventurer of the Canadian Prairies. Friday, 25 July 2014. The summer shifts at ABMI. Are mostly focused on plants, since most prairie plants go into flower later in summer (July-ish? As a plant technologist, my job is to identify and/or collect as many plants as I can at each of our sites! Put out by the Government of Alberta, is my favourite go-to field guide, although the paper covers and first few pages have long since fallen off.). Lowbush cranberry (Viburnum edule).

Stories of a Young Botanist and Adventurer of the Canadian Prairies: August 2014
http://ayoungbotanist.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Stories of a Young Botanist and Adventurer of the Canadian Prairies. Sunday, 17 August 2014. Bison rut at Elk Island National Park and how much I miss the real prairies. On the bright side, Elk Island National Park. Is sort of nearby, only 45 minutes east of the city, and as it turns out, August is rutting season for the bison! The bison rut is when the males bellow, wallow, and fight. I don't think this was actually a danger; it was all dried up. Time for another hike! Oh wait. where is this trail?

Stories of a Young Botanist and Adventurer of the Canadian Prairies. Thursday, 11 September 2014. Two weeks as a Rocky Mountain Nomad. This is a very rushed, last minute post because I'm in the middle of packing for a 6 week trip to the states but I figured I should do a quick update before I go off the grid for a while. It's a five day, 81km loop through the southern part of Jasper National Park. Day three went up above the tree line though! Day five: develop a bad cold and hike the heck out. There ...
