Did you know? Purple Martin females lay an average of 5 pure white eggs, one egg early each

morning for several successive days, then incubation begins and lasts for 14-16 days. Purple Martins now need human intervention to provide safe nesting sites, as their preferred natural choices of holes in dead standing trees are no longer easily available. Camrose citizens have significantly increased the number of these beautiful social birds to nest in our community. Join us at the Purple Martin Festival to learn how you can help.

Trumpeter Swans Spring is officially recognized in Camrose when the local Trumpeter Swans and Mutes are released from their winter compound and set free on Mirror Lake. These majestic beauties add a natural complement to our already picturesque landscapes; and when not nesting, can usually be found close by the spray of the Rotary Fountain on 48 Ave. For over five decades, Camrose has participated in various swan education programs and conservation initiatives.
