While #NationalBirdDay was last week, there is always opportunity for learning about some of our favorite animals.

🔗 Watch videos taken by our own Connie Taylor of some of the many varieties of birds you can encounter in #Alaska, like the #HairyWoodpecker: http://dlvr.it/TQJd6P

#NationalBirdDay was officially celebrated on January 5th, but we think every day is a good day to embrace the beauty and diversity of this species. 🐦

🦉 only found out a little while ago that January 5th is #NationalBirdDay . 🦉 is sad to have missed it, but even sadder that she didn't see anything about it yesterday on any platform.🦉 💧
