McElroy Slough the last half of July was still there on Tuesday, Aug 1,
when it was observed by Bill Wilson. McElroy Slough is off Inverlake Rd

An AMERICAN DIPPER was at a very unusual location this week for this

stiff winds at Little Fish Lake, east of Drumheller.
The next scheduled update of the Bird Alert is Monday, August 7.
