This fall people voted on the bird that would best represent Canada as it’s official bird.
The 5 birds where…
-Snowy Owl
-Black-capped Chickadee
-Common Loon
-Grey Jay
-Canada Goose

The winner and now Canada’s Official Bird is the Grey Jay aka Whiskey Jack.
My vote was for the Common Loon, who came in second I believe.
Meet our official bird.

My Affair with a Bird

I’m in an affair with Joli…yes, she’s my favourite in the Bird World and the resident female at one of the sites in Winnipeg. Joli never seems to let me down when I go to visit.
She’s most aggressive and defensive and makes every pass just a bit closer until I’m gone.
Never the less…I love this bird.
