Observation details

Bird was first seen by Pat Bulman of Calgary on Sat 22 Mar, but he was the only member of his group to witness the sighting so ident was not confirmed by others. His description however was convincing. Richard Klauke and myself (Ted Hindmarch)checked Sun 23 Mar about 6:30PM and were fortunate to relocate the bird, getting good views from less than 200m and some video documentation. We saw the bird at 6:30 pm, May 23, on the north side of the Marsh, approximately "even with the first pipeline crossing." This could be only the second record of this species in the Province of Alberta. Yousif Attia said that he and Jerry Pilny saw the LITTLE BLUE HER0N at Kininvie Marsh on Hwy 1 east of Tilley, Alberta on Tuesday, May 25. Kininvie Marsh is on the west side of a N/S road approximately 2 km S of Hwy 1 and 37.4 km E of the overpass at Brooks
