We are 7024 km from Tofino!

We made it to Newfoundland & Labrador yesterday.

The provincial mineral is labradorite. The Atlantic puffin is Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial bird. It only eats fish, exclusively fish. It nests in a deep rock crevice or underground burrow lined with grass and feathers. They lay one egg, once a year, between June and August. The Atlantic puffin weighs 350 g, has a wingspan of 53 cm, and a length of 32 cm.

Here's a video report on how the puffin is doing in Canada.

Bird Scavenger Hunt!

For the end of our trip we are celebrating by having a bird scavenger hunt. Everyone's invited to search for birds. All the information here: https://acobyrne.wixsite.com/letsgoacrosscanada/post/bird-scavenger-hunt

Reminder, we have active fundraisers:

We're collecting cans and bottles, really anything that has a deposit on it to return for both Birds Canada and OWL Rehab. Let us know if you have some you'd like to donate, OR you can take yours back and make a donation to our campaign through our fundraising page, OR if you live in BC we set up an express Return-it account. So if you drop them off and use our phone number at the express station, then it will be credited to our account and we'll add the value to our donations to OWL and Birds Canada. Send us a message if you need our phone number.
