There are a great many birds to be seen in Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park as Big Lake has been designated an Important Bird Area. This Guide features the most commonly seen birds; however, it is not a complete guide to all birds that could be seen at Big Lake. If you are, or become, passionate about birds, we recommend a comprehensive guide to the birds of North America as there are many species that migrate through Big Lake, or that are expanding their range into this area for a variety of reasons. There are also simply those individuals that wander off course and end up in our area; those wonderful lost individuals that keep birders on their toes.

    Migratory and Breeding Bird Survey Of the Big Lake Natural Area, Alberta Christina Elliott Valerie Nelson Miles Constable January, 2004 Cover photograph of Tundra Swans at Big Lake courtesy of Dr. R.K. Lane. All rights reserved. 2 Migratory and Breeding Bird Survey Of the Big Lake Natural Area, Alberta Christina Elliott Valerie Nelson Miles Constable Big Lake Environment Support Society, St. Albert, Alberta http://www.bless.ab.ca 3 Executive Summary The Big Lake Natural Area (BLNA) northwest of Edmonton and just outside of St. Albert is a group of habitats that is being affected by large-scale development and proposals for alternate land use. It is unknown whether this change in habitat utilization has had a substantial effect on the use of the area by waterfowl and upland avian species for either migratory or breeding purposes. Baseline data is necessary to determine species diversity and abundance in the area and to implement a more strategic timeline for monitoring habitat change and creating an integrated conservation plan. The Big Lake Natural Area is a globally recognized Important Bird Area (IBA) and measures are being taken to determine whether the notable congregatory species and nesting colonies of Franklin's Gulls will continue to be present at the lake or whether recent decreases in water levels and development have caused a long-term decline. Recent drought conditions appear to have contributed to the level of diversity in the Big Lake Natural Area, reducing the surface area of surrounding wetlands forcing many birds to use the BLNA. Similar Shannon-Weaver diversity indices were calculated for many of the habitats in the BLNA, partly owing to their close proximity.

PYBUS5 Additional Contributors: Henry Murkin4, Brett Calverley4, Meagan Hainstock4 The following individuals are recognized and thanked for their strong support and leadership of PHJV’s response to avian botulism: Bruce Batt, Ducks Unlimited Inc. (retired) Brian Gray, Ducks Unlimited Canada (currently, Environment Canada) Bill Gummer, Canadian Wildlife Service (retired) Gerald McKeating, Canadian Wildlife Service (retired) Cover Page Design: Jeope Wolfe4 1 Department of Veterinary Pathology, University of Saskatchewan 2 Environment Canada, Prairie and Northern Wildlife Research Centre 3 Department of Biology, University of Saskatchewan 4 Ducks Unlimited Canada 5 Fish and Wildlife Division, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Avian botulism (Clostridium botulinum, Type C; hereafter ‘botulism’) has occurred on the Prairies and elsewhere for centuries. Botulism affects varying numbers of birds, often in multiple locations, at some time virtually every year. After the formation of the Prairie Habitat Joint Venture (PHJV) in 1988, and as early as 1994, it was becoming increasingly apparent that very large numbers of ducks and shorebirds were dying annually during botulism outbreaks at several large wetlands on the Canadian Prairies. The magnitude of these losses created considerable consternation in the North American waterfowl and wildlife management community. At the time, wetland surveillance and carcass removal (or ‘clean-up’) were used to try to limit the severity of these outbreaks, but the efficacy of this approach was unknown.
