Spring to Summer in Canada’s Wilderness | Bird Migrations & Muskox Battles

#animals #wildlife #naturefacts
🕊️ From the estuaries of Prince Edward Island to the Arctic meadows of northern Canada, spring awakens a spectacular burst of wildlife activity.

🐟 Great blue herons, the largest wading birds in North America, spear fish with lightning-fast strikes and feed their young by regurgitating flounder.

🦆 In the wetlands of Nova Scotia, waterfowl like hooded mergansers and Canada geese return to breed. Males flaunt bright plumage in a vibrant display of sexual dimorphism, while females rely on camouflage to protect their nests.

❄️ Further north, in Canada’s Arctic, the muskox enters its mating season. With a history dating back to the last Ice Age, muskoxen now thrive in subarctic meadows—thanks to thick fur, strong herding instincts, and head-to-head dominance battles.

🧠 Despite their prehistoric appearance, muskoxen are goats—not cattle—and are surprisingly social. Males compete fiercely for the right to mate, while females have the final say.

🎥 Join us as we explore Canada’s extraordinary breeding grounds, where seasonal change sparks life, competition, and new beginnings.
