Inglewood Bird Observatory

Inglewood Bird Sanctuary is a 34-hectare (80 acre) site located in a federal migratory bird sanctuary along the Bow River in Calgary. The site is dominated by a mature, riparian forest. The migration monitoring station has been operated by the Calgary Bird Banding Society since 1992.

There are no on-site facilities. The station operates migration monitoring in both spring and fall and is a good site for migrants, including Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned and Wilson's warblers.  Inglewood is also a MAPS station. Northern Saw-whet Owl migration monitoring is conducted near Brown-Lowery Natural Area south of Calgary.  CBBS also conducts spring migration monitoring in Costa Rica on the Osa Peninsula.

The Calgary Bird Banding Societys migration monitoring program is supported by: the Baillie Birdathon; Canadian Wildlife Service-Prairie and Northern Region; Petro Canada Volunteer Grant Program; and the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.
