The young naturalist society Snow Goose Chase

On April 27, 2013 we went with the young naturalist society on their annual Snow Goose Chase out at the Ministic Lake bird sanctuary, Tofield Alberta and surrounding are. It was a full day event and we saw thousands of snow geese, several other species including, red tail hawk, American Coot, Trumpeter Swans, and other wildlife. We were taken on guided tours in local marsh lands and taught about there role in a healthy world. As well as talks about the beaver and their important contribution to the mash land system.

The club set up spotting scopes for the kids and we had experts on sight to help with identification and answer questions. It was a full day event with lunch in Tofield and a variety of booths and displays for us to look at. A good time was had by all.
