Bird Hanging head down, legs up
The White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) is a small songbird found in North America. The adult birds are about 155 mm (6 in.) long. They forage on the trunk and large branches of trees, often descending head first. Their principal diet consists of insects and a few varieties of seeds. They often travel with small mixed flocks in winter.
Panoramic View of Montreal
Montreal is the second-largest city in Canada. It sits in the south western corner of Quebec at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. As in most parts of Quebec, French is the most common spoken language in the city, but there is a substantial anglophone population and many of the residents are bilingual. In 2005, it won the distinction of being chosen UNESCO's "World Book Capital City 2005–2006" due to its vibrant literary scene.
Hereford cattle
Hereford cattle are a widely-used breed in temperate areas, mainly for beef production. Originating from cool, moist Herefordshire, England, they have found great success, and indeed thrive, in a wide range of climates on nearly every continent. They are especially popular in the temperate parts of Australia and in the desert Southwestern United States.
