One of the Facebook groups that I belong to is Alberta Birds. It is a wonderful group, full of very active members. Every day I get to see wonderful photographs of birds that people have seen in the wild or the backyard.
What is particularly good about the page is that I can get an idea of what birds are currently in the area and this helps me plan what sort of birdseed to put in my feeders.
For example, right now I am seeing quite a few postings on redpolls. So that tells me that I should have my feeder full of seed that redpolls will enjoy.
The other great thing about Alberta Birds is that you are able to post a picture of a bird and get some help with identifying it.
So check it out and get networked with some of the other active birders in Alberta.

What to feed Redpolls:
Redpolls love our Mother Nature's Finch mix which has some of their favorite seeds including nyjer seed, fine-cut sunflower kernels, and canola seed. See our website for info on where to find our bird seed in Alberta.
