See 24+ species in Alberta's foothills on this soothing live stream

There's a lifelong bird enthusiast in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains who's got a backyard bird feeding station that gets bombarded by feathered and furry visitors each spring and summer.

You can enjoy the 24/7 live feed as it's frequented by over 20 different types of birds, as well as squirrels, rabbits, fox and deer. The live stream is run by Canadian Bird Nerd, who puts her creativity toward building feeders and nest boxes, and the view provides exactly the kind of calming experience we all need right now.

You can learn more about the wildlife visiting Canadian Bird Nerd by following her on Facebook and Instagram. You can also check out the regularly-updated library of highlights on her YouTube channel, like this silly, confused Starling fledgling begging for worms from a Grackle.

Or this doe who hopped the fence for a leisurely brunch (uninvited, we might add! Feeding the deer is a no-no in that region.)
