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.
Eastern Bluebird
동부파랑새는 북미에서 행복의 상징으로 사랑받는 새이다. 한때 농약과 집 짓기 경쟁으로 급감했지만, 둥지 박스 설치 운동 덕분에 개체군이 크게 회복되었다. 수컷은 짙은 파란 윗면과 녹슨 붉은 가슴을 자랑한다.
