加拿大春天里的大城小事

　　
　　Bald Eagle
　　白头鹰
　　The Bald Eagle is Canada's largest bird of prey. With a wing span of over 2m and weighing in at around 7kg, the Bald Eagle is a fierce predator and is often not bothered by people. Bald Eagles are seen landing next to picnickers and campers hoping to pick up a scrap. Most of the time adult Bald Eagles kill their own prey which consists of fish, rodents and other birds.
　　
　　Canada Geese
　　加拿大雁
　　It’s one of the symbols of Canada. The Canada goose can be found all over the world and can travel over 1,000km in a single day. The geese fly in a V formation when migrating and mate for life. A Canada goose can be easily recognized by its light brown body, black head and white cheeks.
　　
　　Whales
　　鲸鱼
　　Whales are often spotted in the coastal areas of British Columbia, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and in the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. Organized whale-watching boat trips can be found in the most popular areas and provide excellent photo opportunities. Some of the more common visitors to Canadian water include Orca, Killer Whales, Humpback Whales and the mysterious white Beluga Whales.
