  • White Winged Crossbill
    The white winged crossbill is a resident of the pine forests of North America, with their european counterpart spread across the northern regions of Europe and Asia. With their specialist bills, they mainly eat the seeds of pine cones. This bird is mainly resident, but will irrupt into more southern parts of the US when the food in their ranges runs scarce. They seem to move around more than their european counterpart, the Two Barred Crossbill.</br></br> What is interesting about this bird is that they are opportunistic breeders, meaning they breed whenever the conditions favor it and their food sources abundant. They have been know to breed in all 12 months of the year, according to All About Birds website.

  • Eider
    The Common Eider is a true sea duck, found on the sea coasts across Europe and parts of North America. They are hardly ever found away from their seacoast home. It's primary diet is molluscs, which has caused some conflict with mussle farmers. This is also Britain's fastest flying duck, found year round off the coasts.</br></br> This bird is most well-known for what it lines its nests with, eiderdown feathers. It was most prized for filling pillows and quilts, however these days replaced with alternatives and synthetics. This practice does still continue, however is now carefully done and sustainable as they remove the down from the nest after the fledglings have left - causing no harm to the young.
