Some beaches are good for driftwood, others for mermaid’s purses.

It is the provincial bird of PEI. The blue jay’s vivid cobalt or azure-blue tail and wing feathers make an exotic contrast against brown leaves or green grass.

The blue jay’s feather colour results from refraction, or distortion, of light by a peculiar inner structure of the feather substance.

@ Northern Cardinal "Have you seen this in our travel brochure, Nagisa?

Daphne Fluffster Tinklehoof grinned and thought about it for a minute. "I guess it's like Waitrose in England, from Mr Waite and Mr Rose." "Waitrose isn't a town, though, Daphne Fluffster Tinklehoof." "Edgar wishes it was!" Northern Cardinal A great number of birds, including the Northern Cardinal and Blue Jay, have evolved to remain in Canada throughout the year. Many flock together, sometimes with other species, and huddle to help retain heat. This also reduces the need to watch out for predators. Most remain active by feeding on nuts, dried fruit, seeds, twigs and branches in the vegetation. Many of these species flock to bird feeders, where they supplement their diet with fatty items.
