Myrna Pearman Official Website
Welcome to my website!
I am a biologist, enthusiastic nature writer and photographer. I am lucky to live on the south shore of beautiful Sylvan Lake, Alberta, where I enjoy both the view of the lake as well as the many trails that crisscross our woods. My greatest joy in life is to get out in nature with my camera, to experience and capture the awesome beauty of this planet and her creatures. I hope that my small contributions—this website, my blog, books and columns—will encourage others to do the same. I write a monthly nature photo essay in the Red Deer Advocate and write nature columns for The Gardener magazine and Nature Alberta. I also edit Red Deer River Naturalists newsletter, share my photos on Instagram and Facebook, and occasionally contribute photos to other Facebook groups (Birds of Alberta Photography Group, Canadian Bird Photographer, Alberta Birds).

For the past two years, I've been actively involved with an exciting Red Deer River Naturalist initiative called Nature Central (www.naturecentral.org). The goal of the program is to document, inventory and encourage the respectful enjoyment of the more than 170 natural/protected areas within a one-hour drive of Red Deer. Over the past two summers, we visited and mapped these sites, and have hosted educational programs and events.

New book launched - Jan 19, 2022
I am pleased to announce that Get to Know Bluebirds: A Guide for Young Nature Lovers is finally finished! It was my great honour to write this book, which is aimed at a younger audience, for the North American Bluebird Society (NABS). I had a great deal of assistance from members of the NABS Education Committee as well as other bluebird experts from both Canada and the US. I am also grateful to the many photographers who generously donated the use of their images. It was also great to work with Judy Fushety of Broken Arrow Solutions on our fifth book project together!
The book will be kept as a downloadable PDF for the time being. The goal is to get it printed within the next year.

I am pleased to have been invited to become a part of the Chin Ridge Seeds team! This family-owned company, based out of Taber, Alberta, provides a full line of excellent wild bird seed and bird seed mixes. I have been using and promoting their products for many years.
