Hi Mr.Nick Lafave, I'm Diana From St.Mark School. I see that you saw many birds and other animals. What was the most interesting Bird you saw? Thank You for talking the time to read this.

That's a tough question! I can't just pick one bird! The Gyrfalcon was cool because it is the biggest of the falcons with a nearly 4 foot wingspan. The arctic turns were just fun to watch hover over the lake and diving for fish. Snowy Owls were a real treat, because I wasn't sure if I would get a chance to see any. The tundra swans were just huge, and made the coolest sound as they flew overhead. I'm wouldn't consider myself a big bird watcher, but the birds I saw in the arctic were really cool!
