Today is the International Day of Biological Diversity. Biodiversity is the living fabric of our planet, and there’s almost no better example of a biodiverse space than the Northeast Swale! Photos: Meghan Mickelson #YXE #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday
Yesterday was Migratory Bird Day & tomorrow is Endangered Species Day, so for #swaleSaturday we are highlighting the threatened migratory & predatory songbird, the Loggerhead Shrike. Shrikes impale their prey on thorns or barbed wire! Photo: Meghan Mickelson #yxe #SaveTheSwales
Timpsila (prairie turnip) is a starchy, tuberous, edible root that grows on prairie hillsides—incl. the Northeast Swale! By protecting the Swale’s already fragile habitat, we can ensure the survival of native prairie plants! 📷: Meghan Mickelson #YXE #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday
"With my feet firmly planted on a rock, I feel a fresh breeze blowing in, rustling through last year’s dry grass. Spring has come to the prairies, and there is no better place to celebrate than at the Northeast Swale..." #SaveTheSwales #YXE #swaleSaturday https://t.co/rhW51B6E8D
Out at the Northeast Swale, Richardson’s ground squirrels (or prairie gophers) are emerging from hibernation & communicating with one another. Their squeals, chirps, chirrs, whistles, and teeth chatters are a sign that spring is really here! #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday #yxe
Look at these adorable little Gray Partridges trudging through the snow at the Northeast Swale! Listen to their calls here: https://t.co/hozhYJLVnk Thanks Jimmy MacDonald for sharing this video! #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday
Avocets love wetlands, which is why they can be spotted at the Northeast Swale! Sadly, the avocet is undoubtedly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, water quality, and the drainage of prairie potholes. (Photo: Jimmy MacDonald) #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday
The #NortheastSwale's Sharp-Tailed Grouse performs their mating ritual on an open area called a lek. They stomp their feet, spread their wings, rub their tail feathers together & puff up coloured air sacs in their throats! 📷: Jimmy MacDonald #yxe #swaleSaturday #SaveTheSwales
Happy 1st day of spring! Be a #goodneighbour to the Northeast Swale by taking some time to audit your backyard for invasive species that can rapidly spread to natural areas & negatively impact native plants and animals. #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday (Photo: Meghan Mickelson)
Because of the saucer-shaped design & reflective petals, the temp inside a Prairie Crocus can be 10 C warmer than the temp of the surrounding air on a sunny day. Sounds like a toasty place to warm up on a cool spring day! #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday (📷: Meghan Mickelson)
The Melissa Blue, who enjoys the Northeast Swale's prairie, has a special secret. The underside is quite dull, but the inside of its wings reveal a vibrant blue! Find more photos & info here: https://t.co/0YrVY16HIe #yxe #savetheswales #swaleSaturday 📷: Meghan Mickelson

Even though the grassy microhabitats at the Northeast Swale are less obvious when they are covered in a blanket of snow, the winter sky still displays a memorable scene (like in this gorgeous photo by Colin Chatfield).

What's it like for the flora at the Northeast Swale during the cold, winter months? Luckily, many plants becomes dormant! They can also happily live under a heavy layer of snow. #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday (Photo by Meghan Mickelson)
The Northeast & Small Swales are home to wetlands that provide flood control, carbon storage, food production, nesting grounds & habitat! Sadly, >70% of SK’s wetlands have been lost. https://t.co/t1ZdcbaDKn #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday #WWD Photo by Meghan Mickelson

Blue grama grass, found at the Northeast Swale, is a hardy and drought-resistant species of native grass! It is cherished by many of the wild animals at the Swale, such as deer, gophers, jackrabbits, and songbirds. #yxe #SaveTheSwales #swaleSaturday 📷: Meghan Mickelson
DYK: Lichen is extremely sensitive to atmospheric pollution, so finding it at the Northeast Swale is a very good sign of a healthy ecosystem! #yxe #swaleSaturday #SaveTheSwales (📷: Meghan Mickelson)
