Birds of Chaunigan









Bonaparte's Gull:- The third smallest gull, these birds feed mainly on insects, crustaceans and fish. Unlike other gulls they birds rarely scavenge. They will usually nest in conifers.

Belted Kingfisher:- Often seen perching on trees, fence posts or other watch points close to the water before plunging after their prey. They eat fish, amphibians, small crustaceans, small mammals, insects and reptiles.

Spruce Grouse:- To avoid predation these birds rely on camouflage and immobility to avoid detection. There staple food is conifer needles plucking them right from the tree. They will also feed on berries, green plants, fungi and some insects.
