Say's Phoebes
Birds of the Canadian Badlands
Say’s Phoebe adults have brownish-gray upperparts with an
orange-brown belly and light gray on the throat and breast.
Juveniles have cinnamon wing bars; adults have no wing bars. These
birds migrate to southern Mexico. They are permanent residents in
the southern parts of their range. They wait on a perch on a shrub
or rock and fly out to catch insects in flight, also foraging by
hovering over fields. They sometimes eat certain berries.
The Legacy Trail
The Legacy Trail is a collection of geocaches that circles its
way over 100 miles on country roads traversing some of the most
scenic and spectacular landscape in this part of the Canadian
Badlands. A large number of caches in a variety of types, sizes and
difficulty are placed on the Trail. Every town, village and
hamletin the Canadian Badlands has its own cache. Some caches were
named after local historic events and people, as well as
celebrities who grew up in this area. Some caches were sponsored by
geocachers who attended the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The Legacy
Trail was produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association
for the Best of the Bad Mega Event.
The Canadian Badlands
The Canadian Badlands in Alberta are like no other place on
earth, home to the world's most extensive dinosaur bonebeds,
badlands and hoodoos, and a world-class museum that shelters a 75
million-year-old legacy. The region is rich in culturally and
historically significant sites that tell the story of the First
Nations people and early settlers, and of a complex and diverse
modern society that is still deeply rooted in the spirit of the
frontier.
