Blue Jay, Robert McCaw

$2.50

Blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) are found in many of southern Canada's mixed wood forests, making them well-known to both wilderness campers and suburban dwellers. Their bold colour comes from the inner structure of their feathers, which are not actually blue, but appear so because of the way light reflects off of them.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Robert McCaw

$2.50

Ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris), characterized by their brilliant green and red plumage, have the largest breeding range of any North American hummingbird. These tiny birds create a hum by beating their wings about 53 times per second, and can fly all directions – up, down, sideways and even backwards.

Gray Jay, Robert McCaw

$2.50

The tough little gray jay (Perisoreus canadensis) is found in northern forests all across Canada, and rightfully so because it’s Canada’s national bird. The jay is known by many names including whisky jack or Wisakedjak, the Algonquin word for a mischievous, transforming spirit who plays tricks on people. Rising temperatures due to climate change threaten this bird’s outdoor food storage system.

Boreal Owl Chicks, Wayne Lynch

$2.50

The tiny, solitary boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) is found in Canada’s vast boreal forest and high elevation mountains with subalpine forests. In the night, this bright-eyed owl comes alive. It waits on a perch for small mammals and birds before gliding down, talons outstretched, to grab a snack. Agriculture and logging impact their boreal home.
