The observatory possesses long-term datasets for the purpose of analyzing population trends, migration routes, breeding success, and survivorship of avian species. The observatory is located on the edge of Beaverhill Lake, which was designated as a RASMAR in 1987. Beaverhill Lake has been recognized as an Important Bird Area with the site boasting over 270 species, 145 which breed locally. Just a short walk from the laboratory one can commonly see or hear white-tailed deer, tree swallows, yellow warblers, house wrens, yellow-headed blackbirds, red- winged blackbirds, sora rails, and plains garter snakes.

    POPULATION of BOW ISLAND 2025 People

    The community of Bow Island received its first families in 1900. In February 1910, the village of Bow Island was formed and on February 1st of 1912 the village was declared the Town of Bow Island. The town of Bow Island was one of the first towns in the province of Alberta to have natural gas wells and operated them until the franchise was sold to a private company. The community of Bow Island suffered through the depression years, as did all the communities in Western Canada. In the early 1950’s irrigation was extended to the Bow Island area. The Town of Bow Island doubled in population when irrigation water finally flowed through the ditches. 110,000 acres of highly productive lands surround the Town of Bow Island. Some of the most modern irrigation systems in the world are located in the area. The first pivot sprinkler system in Canada was erected on a farm in close proximity to Bow Island in 1961. The first linear sprinkler systems in Canada were put in- to operation in the Bow Island area. A completely automated distribution system was installed in 1982 by the St. Mary’s River Irrigation District (SMRID) This system is known as the lateral 12 system and has been toured by groups from around the world. Bow Island has become a vibrant agricultural community with many agri-processing industries located here, such as: Bow Island Dry Edible Bean Plant and Alberta Sunflower Seeds Ltd. (SPITZ) TOWN OF BOW ISLAND The story has it that Bow Island was named for an island in a bend of “bow” in the South Saskatchewan River directly north of town, where river boats used to unload coal in the early years.
