All three of our locations are situated in park like setting.  Edmonton has a large pond with ducks and geese in the summer.  Calgary used to get deer probably sneaking down from Nose Hill Park but I think a spate of construction a few years ago blocked their routes. We still get grey partridges, duck, geese and white tailed jack rabbits.  These pictures however are still from my trip to Edmonton.
