Beachcombing is a soothing activity which involves combing the shoreline to see what objects of interest you can see. This could be shells, pebbles, seaglass or even something more unusual!

@ Canadian Blue Jay
Red Scarlet and Evie came across each other in the hotel bar. "Hey, Evie, what are you going to have?"
"I thought I'd try Canada’s national cocktail, the Caesar, Red Scarlet. It's made of vodka, clamato juice, tabasco and Worcestershire sauce."
Red Scarlet looked puzzled. "What's clamato juice, Evie?"
"Tomato juice with clams and chilli!"
Canadian Blue Jay
The blue jay is found throughout most of Canada, with the exception of the far west of the country. 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. However, these feathers are not truly blue, as blue pigment is unknown in birds. The blue jay’s feather colour results from refraction, or distortion, of light by a peculiar inner structure of the feather substance.

Episode 14/24

@ Northern Cardinal
“Shall we stop and eat our packed lunch here, Red Scarlet?” asked Cookie .
“Yes, it seems a good spot, Cookie! Let's perch on those tree stumps there! I can't wait to sink my teeth into those slices of bannock!"
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.
