Yesterday we made it to Bruce Peninsula National Park. It extends into Lake Huron. The east has cliffs into Georgian Bay. You can go bouldering along the limestone cliffs. It is also home to 40 species of orchids. There are many different types of habitat, such as cedar swamps, lakes, old growth forest, alvars (which are limestone plains with little to no soil), beaches, caves and underground streams. One bird that can be found in Bruce Peninsula National Park is the turkey vulture. The turkey vulture soars with it's wings in "V" shape. It's wingspan is 1.7 - 1.8 m. Their lifespan is at least 17 years. Turkey vultures are 64 to 81 cm long and weigh 2 kg. They only eat carrion. Turkey vulture's have a featherless red head, which helps to distinguish it from the black vulture which has a featherless black head. The turkey vulture poops on its legs to cool down.

We are 4534 km from Tofino!
