Birds, Birds Everywhere
Did you know there are over 10,000 species of birds? Now that's a lot and far too many to mention here - that would be a job for an ornithologist! So, here are just two of the amazing birds that grace our skies.
The Cardinals are a family of birds in North and South America and are named after their red plummage. They are small birds, ranging in size from approximately 12 to 25 centimetres.
The Northern Cardinal can be found in southern Canada, eastern US, Mexico, Hawaii and Oahu. It has a distinctive crest on the head and a mask on the face. The male has vibrant red plummage with a black mask, while the female's plummage is a dull red-brown with a grey mask.
Macaws are part of the parrot family and are native to Mexico, Central and South America. At one time, they could be found in the Caribbean. While most people consider macaws to be large birds, there are some that are no larger than parakeets.

The Feathery "A" - American Avocet
The American Avocet is a wader bird, often called "blue shanks" because of its long, thin, grey-coloured legs. It has black and white feathers on its back and white on its belly. One of the interesting things about the American avocet is that in summer its neck and head are cinnamon coloured and in winter they are grey.
