Roadside sloughs

From the Trans-Canada Highway this area often appears flat. As seen in this shot taken along the route from Dinosaur Provincial Park to Drumheller, the flatness is an illusion. The numerous undocumented roadside sloughs provide some of the best birding spots in the area. On most secondary roads there is no shoulder, but dirt access roads for the farm fields appear on a regular basis and can be used for a brief stop. Even in dry weather it is best to avoid field access roads if you are not driving a truck or SUV with 4-wheel drive and high clearance.
