Summary The Red Deer river traverses a largely settled region of Alberta. It is a strip of wilderness within a large expanse of farm land and even within the occasional city. In the past grass fires maintained a prairie habitat along the river but now agriculture suppresses the fires and the river banks are populated by forests. The forests along with wetland oxbows created by the river's meanders create a lush habitat for birds and flowering plants several of which are shown in video. Unfortunatly the farms also introduced DDT which depleted the raptor population. Peregrine falcons are now being reintroduced along the river.
