Yesterday, we made it to Terra Nova National Park! It is 400 square kilometres. It is boreal forest, with beaches. Some of the animals you can find there are starfish, hermit crabs, jellyfish, moose, snails, lynx, birds and more.
One of the birds in Terra Nova National Park is the dark-eyed junco. The dark-eyed junco's length is 15 to 17 cm, it has a wingspan of 20 to 26 cm, and it weighs from 18 to 30 grams. It's flight pattern is very fast wingbeats, glide, very fast wingbeats, glide, very fast wingbeats and so on. Dark-eyed juncos eat berries, seeds and insects. It builds its nest under vegetation on the ground. It has one to two broods of three to five eggs from May to August.
We are 7635 km from Tofino!
