About These Birds
Atlantic Puffin
대서양퍼핀은 '바다의 광대'라 불리는 매력적인 바닷새로, 북부 해식애의 굴에 둥지를 틉니다. 입천장의 뒤를 향한 가시 덕분에 한 번에 12마리의 물고기를 부리에 횡으로 물 수 있습니다. 기후 변화와 남획이 먹이 공급을 위협하면서 개체수가 감소하고 있습니다.
Blue Jay
어치는 화려한 깃털과 큰 울음소리로 알려진 까마귀과의 대담하고 지능적인 구성원입니다. 가을마다 수천 개의 도토리를 저장하기 때문에 참나무 나무의 중요한 산포자입니다. 복잡한 사회 행동으로 먹이통에서 다른 새들을 겁주기 위해 매의 울음소리를 흉내 내기도 합니다.
