The National Bird Project with Canadian Geographic

The hunt is on to name Canada's national bird. Canadian Geographic is heading up the National Bird Project where you get to have input and vote for your favorite online. Front runners in the voting are the Loon and the Snowy Owl. Because the National Bird Project is open to the public, they have even had a couple of votes for a certain bird from a popular kids program.
