Winter Waterfowl
The lagoon on the east side of Prince’s Island Park is an excellent spot for winter waterfowl watching. Although mallards and Canada geese are by far the most common waterfowl species you’ll see, many others overwinter in Calgary. It is always worth checking amongst the throngs of mallards and geese for other species, including wood ducks, common goldeneyes, and hooded mergansers.
