Watch for signage. 3 GRASSLANDS NATIONAL PARK IS A REPRESENTATIVE PART OF THE PRAIRIE GRASSLANDS NATURAL REGION DIVERSE The grasslands that surrounds you is situated at the northern tip of North America’s mixed-grass prairie. It is unique in Canada bringing with it many uncommon plants and animals. Find a yellow-bellied blue racer coiled under the lavender blue blossoms of slender beardtongue. Watch a threatened ferruginous hawk 12 swoop down to catch a rare black-tailed prairie dog. RESILIENT Once the grassland is broken by the plough, it takes many years and a nearby seed source for the native plants to return. If the protective grass, moss and lichen ground cover is removed, the fertile soil is soon blown 13 away by the strong prairie wind. With care and a gentle hand, it will survive and thrive. EVOLVING Less than one quarter of Canada’s original mixed- grass prairie remains in its natural state. Grasslands National Park and area is one of the largest and least 14 disturbed of these remaining pockets of native prairie in North America. Grasslands continues to evolve by reintroducing prairie species and restoring native prairie vegetation. 15 4 Contact VISITOR CENTRE Information The Visitor Centre will make your trip most memorable, Grasslands National Park as friendly knowledgeable staff provides up-to-date P.O.

    Saskatchewan Birding Trail Experience (Pdf)

    askatchewan has a wealth of birdwatching opportunities ranging from the fall migration of waterfowl to the spring rush of songbirds and shorebirds. It is our hope that this Birding Trail Guide will help you find and enjoy the many birding Slocations in our province. Some of our Birding Trail sites offer you a chance to see endangered species such as Piping Plovers, Sage Grouse, Burrowing Owls, and even the Whooping Crane as it stops over in Saskatchewan during its spring and fall migrations. Saskatchewan is comprised of four distinct eco-zones, from rolling prairie to dense forest. Micro-environments are as varied as the bird-life, ranging from active sand dunes and badlands to marshes and swamps. Over 350 bird species can be found in the province. Southwestern Saskatchewan represents the core of the range of grassland birds like Baird's Sparrow and Sprague's Pipit. The mixed wood boreal forest in northern Saskatchewan supports some of the highest bird species diversity in North America, including Connecticut Warbler and Boreal Chickadee. More than 15 species of shorebirds nest in the province while others stop over briefly en-route to their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada. Chaplin Lake and the Quill Lakes are the two anchor bird watching sites in our province. These sites are conveniently located on Saskatchewan's two major highways, the Trans-Canada #1 and Yellowhead #16. Both are excellent birding areas! Oh! ....... don't forget, birdwatching in Saskatchewan is a year round activity. While migration provides a tremendous opportunity to see vast numbers of birds, winter birding offers you an incomparable opportunity to view many species of owls and woodpeckers and other Arctic residents such as Gyrfalcons, Snowy Owls and massive flocks of Snow Buntings.

    46 THE CANADIAN FIELD -N ATURALIST Vol. 126 An Extra-Limital Population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Cynomys ludovicianus, in Central Alberta HELEN E. T REFRY 1 and GEOFFREY L. H OLROYD 2 1Environment Canada, 4999-98 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3 Canada; email: [email protected] 2Environment Canada, 4999-98 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3 Canada Trefry, Helen E., and Geoffrey L. Holroyd. 2012. An extra-limital population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Cynomys ludovicianus, in central Alberta. Canadian Field-Naturalist 126(1): 4 6–49. An introduced population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Cynomys ludovicianus, has persisted for the past 50 years east of Edmonton, Alberta, over 600 km northwest of the natural prairie range of the species. This colony has slowly expanded at this northern latitude within a transition ecotone between the Boreal Plains ecozone and the Prairies ecozone. Although this colony is derived from escaped animals, it is worth documenting, as it represents a significant disjunct range extension for the species and it is separated from the sylvatic plague ( Yersina pestis ) that threatens southern populations. The unique northern location of these Black-tailed Prairie Dogs makes them valuable for the study of adaptability and geographic variation, with implications for climate change impacts on the species, which is threatened in Canada. Key Words: Black-tailed Prairie Dog, Cynomys ludovicianus, extra-limital occurrence, Alberta. Black-tailed Prairie Dogs ( Cynomys ludovicianus ) Among the animals he displayed were three Black- occur from northern Mexico through the Great Plains tailed Prairie Dogs, a male and two females, originat - of the United States to southern Canada, where they ing from the Dixon ranch colony southeast of Val Marie are found only in Saskatchewan (Banfield 1974).

    Entomological Opportunities in Grasslands National Park – an Invitation

    Entomological opportunities in Grasslands National Park – an invitation Darcy C. Henderson Parks Canada, Western & Northern Service Center, 145 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg MB, R3B 0R9 Beginning in summer 2006, two large-scale management experiments will begin in Grasslands National Park, both of which require long-term monitoring of many biological and environmen- tal indicators. The carefully planned experiments are designed to support future park management, and provide data suitable for scientific publica- tion. While the Park selected a few key indicators for staff to monitor, there were a number of other A rare blue form of the red-legged grasshopper, Melanoplus femurrubrum, found in Grasslands National Park. (photo by D.L. Johnson) indicators for which funds and time were simply not available. Not wanting to waste an opportu- nity for public participation and a chance to gain valuable information, Grasslands National Park is inviting professional and amateur entomologists to get involved in monitoring arthropods under several grazing and fire treatments planned for both the West and East Blocks of the Park (see map below; for an overview of the Park go to http: //www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/sk/grasslands/index_e.asp). In the West Block, a combination of pre- scribed fire with short-duration, high-intensity livestock grazing will be implemented on na- tive mixed prairie and exotic crested wheatgrass vegetation between 2006 and 2007. The Park is primarily interested in the seed production re- sponse, because past experience indicates thrips (Thysanoptera) and possibly other insects damage much native seed in the ungrazed and unburned Upland grasslands dominated by needle and thread parts of the Park.
