Black-billed Magpie

With all of Calgary’s great green spaces and natural areas, we have birds everywhere! What do you think is the species seen most often in the city?

We have many species here year-round, and some summer visitors arrive in huge numbers, such as American Robins.

Some suggestions for permanent residents might be Black-billed Magpie, House Sparrow, Black-capped Chickadee, Canada Goose, Mallard, House Finch…

Let us know what you think, and why you’ve chosen that species. Join our 2010 Birding Event to help answer this question!

We look forward to hearing from you in the comments below!
