"Robin, Robin, Red Breast"

An American robin looks up, alert for predators, while walking across green grass.

Captured in Edward’s Gardens, the gardens of the Toronto Botanical Society, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Taken with a Canon Digital Rebel.

The American Robin Turdus migratorius is one of the best-known birds in North America. It was given its name by the early settlers, who thought that, with its reddish breast, it resembled the English Robin. However, the American Robin is a thrush, not a robin, and except for the colour of its breast, it does not look like the small brown European bird.

The American Robin is the largest thrush in North America. The adult measures about 25 cm long and weighs about 77 g. In addition to its cinnamon-rufous to brick-red breast, the American Robin has a black head, white eye-rings, yellow bill, black and white streaked throat, and grey back. The male is generally more brightly coloured than the female.

"Sweet-Clover (Melilotus Officinalis)"

A patch of yellow sweet clover flowers growing beside a path in the shadow of the High Level Bridge in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

The High Level Bridge crossing the Oldman river in Lethbridge, Alberta is Canada’s longest rail structure. This year marks it’s 100th anniversary.

Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis), also known as Yellow Melilot or Common Melilot is a perennial or biennial species of legume of in the family Fabaceae, native to Eurasia and introduced in North America, Africa and Australia.
The flowers of the yellow sweet clover grow on long narrow racemes, stem-like structures which arise from the leaf axils, or the connection where the leaves and stem join. The finely toothed pinnate leaflets grow alternately in threes along the stem. Each flower is about 1/3” long and has a tendency to droop downward from the raceme, although curving upward toward its tip.

This plant is often underseeded with wheat or oats and ends up getting cut for feed. It is considered a toxic plant because when cut for feed, molding usually occurs because of the succulent stems. The molds can metabolize coumarin which is hydrolyzed from a plant glycoside. Dicoumarol is produced, which is toxic to animals.

"Disappearing Crowsnest"

A huge stack of timber from lodgepole pines that have been cut to stop the spread of the mountain pine beetle sits on the slope at the base of the landmark Crowsnest mountain, whose peak is hidden in dense cloud cover.

Captured from a logging road branching off Allison Creek Road in the Crowsnest Pass, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.
Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm lens.

Unusual hot, dry summers and mild winters in central British Columbia during the last few years, along with forests filled with mature lodgepole pine, have lead to an epidemic among mountain pine beetle populations. To date, beetles have destroyed millions of lodgepole pine in BC, and has begun spreading to Alberta.

Left unchecked, mountain pine beetle could devastate Alberta’s pine forests and spread eastward across Canada’s boreal region. Outbreaks can destroy thousands of hectares of mature pine forest in just a few years.

One of the strategies being implemented by the Alberta government to hinder the spread of this voracious is to selectively harvest stands of high risk timber, encouraging a more natural diversity of tree ages that will be more resilient to threats from destructive insects, disease and wildfire.
