We're excited to be back again this year with more to share than ever! Come find our table – we'd love to chat all things bears.

#TrailcamTuesday #NationalPoetryMonth West wind, blow from your prairie nest, Blow from the mountains, blow from the west. The sail is idle, the sailor too; O wind of the west, we wait for you! Blow, blow, I have wooed you so, But never a favour you bestow... -E. Pauline Johnson

What's it like to be a biologist? Sometimes it's a beautiful day in the field, or getting results on a big question. And sometimes it's labelling 100s of images of hares until you can hardly see straight. Today we celebrate the 🐰! It’s not bear data, but it’s… something.

#EarthDay2025 #NationalPoetryMonth The First Game by A. A. Milne There looms a Day (I can feel it looming;     Yes, it will be in a month or less),   When all the flowers in the world are blooming     And Nature flutters her fairest dress— 📷Shade of Biology

#NationalPoetryMonth #trailcamtuesday Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

Wind in the blossoms. A sweet fragrance in the air. Bees drunk on nectar. #NationalPoetryMonth #trailcamtuesday

We had so much fun at Alberta Parks Bear Day in April! Thanks to everyone who came to talk to Kirsty and Darío!

The cougar’s eyes shine because of a the tapetum lucidum, a layer in their eyes that reflects light back at the retina. This enhances their night vision, making them expert hunters in low light. #trailcamtuesday

Happy Mother’s Day! Soon, caribou will be having babies of their own! A 2016 study used GPS collars to track calving, survival rates, and more, offering rare insight into this sensitive time. 🔗 friresearch.ca/news/calves-an…

Today's trailcam forecast: Mostly furry with a high chance of back scratches. Expect scattered rolls throughout the afternoon. #TrailcamTuesday #trailcam #trailcamera

The caribou & grizzly bear crews are already done training, but who are they? Meet the 17 field techs & answer your nagging questions: what mammal lactates for just 4 days, what Alberta species has ivory tusks, & what's a handful of pine needles good for? friresearch.ca/news/meet-the-…

❌Bigfoot ✅Whitefoot! Wolverines are the largest land-dwelling members of the weasel family, and they usually sport dark brown fur with lighter markings on their face. This is the first time we've seen with white foot! #TrailcamTuesday

We're celebrating International Day for Biological Diversity by revisiting some of the critters that visited our trail cameras last year, from bears to hares: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/876283…

It's #fieldworkfriday! Here's a quick look at the grizzly bear crew learning the setup and collection protocols for hair snag sites at the start of the month. Stay tuned for more from all the crews!

June in Alberta is calving season for several species in the deer family, including Elk! #TrailcamTuesday

June 6 is World Caribou Day! We believe science can find solutions for caribou's longterm conservation. Since 2013, we have been working to untangle the relationships between Alberta's caribou herds, human activity, and other parts of the ecosystem.

Forest bathing is a practice of connecting with nature by engaging all your senses. Sniff the rotten cow blood scent lure, listen to the crush of branches as you flatten our hair snag site, and relax into the soft mossy ground. #TrailcamTuesday

Where do misbehaving rainbows get sent? Prism. It's a bear-able sentence. Lots of time to reflect. Happy Father’s Day to those raising their own cubs. Thanks for the cringey jokes, the trail wisdom, and for pointing out the rainbows (even when it’s still raining).
