Feathered Friends

 We continue on, with more of the Bird Gallery at the Canadian Museum of Nature.


Birds may blend into their surroundings very well due to their feather patterns. And they see differently then we do. 


The puffin at lower left catches my eye, perhaps because they seem such characters.


Canada doesn't have a national bird, but we have a goose named after the country.

    Yes, they see different, hard to imagine how they manage all they do!

    Nice continuation of the museum's large collection of birds.
    I can't get them that beautiful in the picture. But today I can present another picture of a live bird that had just caught a fish. I don't see those dead birds of yours doing that yet. ;-)

    Can you put a couple in your pocket and send them on to me?

    I thought the beautiful Loon is Canada's national bird. It is a Gray Jay on one website and no national bird on another. It seems the debate is ongoing.

      The debate continues.

      No offense, but the gray jay doesn't feel like a bird that's majestic enough to represent the magnificent Canada I think of. The Loon is magical beyond compare to any bird on Earth.

      If I recall there would be some parameters for a national bird, such as how widespread it is.

    I'd spend lot of time viewing in this area.

    Every time I see a raptor, I think of how his eyes see me better than I him. Your goose of Canadian name is quite well aquainted with here in North Carolina.

    Great and realistic (the ones I've actually seen in real life -- I'm sure they all are). Puffins really are characters -- we have been lucky enough to see them a couple of times "in the wild."
