SLITHERING SATURDAY: The Plains Garter Snake is out enjoying the warmer weather! Watch for them in the Nose Creek Coulees. They are "live bearing" snakes, they don’t lay eggs. They can also swim to escape predators. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #Snakes

#MiistakisMonday: We are starting a new series showing some of the NoseCreek/West NoseCreek Trail Cam pictures from the Calgary Connect Project that Miistakis Institute is championing. Starting with this rather wet Coyote from 2019. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #Miistakis @miistakis.bsky.social

MULE DEER MONDAY: The herd of deer in the Nose Creek Valley are still making their home around the stripping and grading construction North of Country Hills Blvd. We are hopeful they will still have a green-belt to live in, when all is said and done. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #yyccc #abpoli

THROWBACK THURSDAY: We recieved an older photo of a bobcat from a member who lives near Nose Creek. Bobcats mostly hang out in the developed neighbourhoods, due to the easy access to "food" but use the creek valley to get between neighborhoods. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #Bobcat

The Nose Creek Herd were on High Alert 🚨 this evening. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Deer

EYE SPY: A neat confluence of wildlife in this picture. A Coyote, a Northern Flicker and a Magpie. Can you spot them all? #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #SNCbirds #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac #Coyote #NorthernFlicker #Magpie

We like to call Nose Creek our "Ecological Spine" but it is also filled with REAL spines. From very old fossilized Bison vertebraes to this very fresh deer spine. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac

WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY: The Deer Herd 🦌 in the Nose Creek Valley is fighting for their space amongst the developments. We've always said we are 20 years behind on this advocacy, but we hope it's not too late. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #Airdrie #RockyViewCounty #Deer #abpoli

Beaver dams like this one reduce soil erosion and retain sediment, which absorb and filter pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and fertilizers. This improves the quality of water downstream used by humans and other species. 🦫 #SaveNoseCreek #SNCbeavers #SNCwildlife #yyc

Oh Deer, it's WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY! We've had a few Creek-Heads sharing their pics of the Deer Herd hanging out in the Nose Creek valley. Another reason we need to protect this Nose Creek green-belt. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #yyccc #abpoli #cdnpoli

Even this late in the season you can see tracks of wildlife using Nose Creek Valley as a Wildlife Corridor. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #Tracks #AnimalTracks #yyc #Airdrie #RockyViewCounty

We are slowly gaining some Creek-Heads in the Rocky View County area. We were sent this Moose picture from one of our advocates who lives North of Calgary along West Nose Creek. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #yyc #Moose

Bobcats are one of the predators along Nose Creek. They help control the populations of ground squirrels and rabbits in communities bordering the Creek. A reminder be careful with pets and children if you live in communities along the Valley. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife

This #WorldWildlifeDay is a good time to remind everyone who calls Nose Creek Valley their home.
