In this video, I review the characteristics and some of the ecology of the saline lakes that occur on the grate plains of southern Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta, Canada. This includes their appearance, salt concentrations, geographic distribution, their habitat importance to nesting and migrating birds and halophyte, or salt loving plant species, brine shrimp, and their recreational and commercial use.

Parts of the video were created in 2012, 2019 and 2023.11.16
