As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

$500,000 donation to help Inglewood Bird Sanctuary recover from flooding

CALGARY – The City of Calgary has received a helping hand as it works to restore a popular tourist destination hit hard by June flooding.

The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, located on the west side of the Bow River, was badly damaged by rising floodwaters which carved new channels in the park, uprooted trees and destroyed bridges and boardwalks.

The federally designated migratory bird sanctuary attracts thousands of visitors each year, and encompasses a total of 36 hectares of land.
