Abundant throughout North America, the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the continent’s most well-known and best-loved species of wild duck. One of the first to return to its home nesting grounds after winters spent in ice-free regions of the continent, this large surface-feeding, or “dabbling,” waterfowl is the species from which most domestic ducks originated.\u003cbr\u003eThe plumage of mallards is instantly recognizable. The male, or drake, has a bright green head, ochre yellow bill, and brown chest. He bear patches (known as “specula”) of indigo blue on its greyish, brown wings. On the other hand, the female, or hen, bears mottled brown and white plumage, sharing with the drake a striking indigo speculum decorating the upper back edge of each wing.\u003cbr\u003eThe mallard’s preferred habitats include wetlands, ponds, and prairie “potholes”— marshy areas where they can raise their ducklings in relative safety.

Abundant throughout North America, the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the continent’s most well-known and best-loved species of wild duck. One of the first to return to its home nesting grounds after winters spent in ice-free regions of the continent, this large surface-feeding, or “dabbling,” waterfowl is the species from which most domestic ducks originated.\u003cbr\u003eThe plumage of mallards is instantly recognizable. The male, or drake, has a bright green head, ochre yellow bill, and brown chest. He bear patches (known as “specula”) of indigo blue on its greyish, brown wings. On the other hand, the female, or hen, bears mottled brown and white plumage, sharing with the drake a striking indigo speculum decorating the upper back edge of each wing.\u003cbr\u003eThe mallard’s preferred habitats include wetlands, ponds, and prairie “potholes”— marshy areas where they can raise their ducklings in relative safety.

When you drift off in the evening, the Robin’s call is likely to be the last you hear. When you wake up, it is usually the first.\u003cbr\u003eThough early colonists, perhaps wistfully, named it for the European Robin, the American Robin is actually North America’s largest thrush. The orange-breasted bird’s calls and songs are one of its most distinctive features. Males tend to be the more vocal of the species, singing from high atop trees early in the morning and as part of the American Robin’s elaborate courtship rituals.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it originally inhabited primarily the forest clearings of North America, the American Robin has become one of the few species to have benefitted from urbanization. The growth of large swathes of open fields and lawn, accompanied by treed gardens and parks in residential areas, has actually created habitat for the species, giving it easy access to its preferred diet of fruit, berries, and invertebrates like worms and grubs.\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Robins can form roosting groups of more than 200,000, though their roosts generally include only a few dozen to a few hundred birds. The males, in particular, engage in this behaviour both on wintering grounds in the southern United States and northern Mexico and in its summer breeding territory across Canada and the United States. Although the American Robin is a migratory bird, it will stay year-round in regions whose climate remains temperate. Although they almost always return to the same breeding area, Robins’ path south is not set and seems to reflect the availability of food in a given year. In general, the migration south from Canada occurs in October.\u003cbr\u003eThe American Robin bears two to three clutches of light blue eggs per breeding season, generally beginning in April or early May. Both parents work together to feed their chicks about 40 times per day. Sometimes clutches by the same mother will overlap (the second clutch housed in a separate nest), even before the first group of three or four chicks is ready to leave its nest. In this case, the father may take over primary care of the first group of chicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Coin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis painted cupronickel coin has a diameter of 35 millimetres.

An apex predator with no natural enemies, the bald eagle has long been a potent symbol of vision, power and stoicism. The adult boasts a wing span of more than 2 metres, a standing height of about 1 metre, and an average weight of up to 7 kilograms. Females are generally larger than males. The renowned raptor is noted for its distinctive dark-feathered body and white-feathered head and tail, large golden eyes, bright yellow beak and massive yellow claws armed with sharp, powerful talons. This long-lived bird can survive nearly 30 years in the wild and even longer in captivity. Nesting in tall trees normally near large bodies of water, bald eagles survive on a diet of fish, birds, invertebrates and small mammals, but are opportunistic feeders who will also steal from other predators and eat carrion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bald eagle does not reach reproductive maturity until about its fifth year of life, at which time the eagle seeks a mate that will likely become its life partner. Together, this pair will build a massive nest, usually in a tall sturdy conifer near the ocean or another large body of water, but sometimes on a cliff face or other isolated natural feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEagles do not necessarily reproduce each year, but when they do, the female lays between one and three large eggs. The incubation period lasts about 35 days, with the female generally taking on the role of lead incubator but occasionally trading places with the male to hunt and feed herself. The small grey downy eaglets will not have any feathers for more than a month. For this first month, one of the adults—usually the female—is always with the eaglets to protect them, shelter them and keep them warm. The male will hunt and bring back food for\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethis period. Both parents take great care around their young, curling their talons under and moving carefully in the nest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt two and a half to three months of age, the eaglets have grown considerably and now have the feathers necessary for flight. They experiment with trial flights and begin learning from their parents how to hunt, fly and feed themselves. They will moult over the next four years but will not acquire their distinctive adult colouring until they reach maturity. Once they have fledged, the juveniles stay with or near their parents for about two months. In Canada, the time from birth to leaving the nest lasts from spring to late summer. Parents may continue to help feed their offspring throughout the first fall and winter since the young eagles’ hunting skills are immature at this time. Alternatively, the young eagles may join others in communal wintering grounds, practicing together the skills necessary for survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Canada, large bald eagle populations are concentrated along the Pacific Coast; however, stable smaller populations are also found across the prairie provinces, in Northern Ontario, on Cape Breton Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175955792004,"sku":"125585","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/Reverse_Illustration_Eagle__07009.1380150852.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759517098"},{"product_id":"2013-20-fine-silver-coin-the-bald-eagle-portrait-of-power","title":"2013 1oz $20 THE BALD EAGLE: PORTRAIT OF POWER FINE SILVER COIN","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exciting new series featuring the power and beauty of the Bald Eagle—an iconic Canadian species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 1-ounce fine silver coin is certified to be 99.99% pure silver with a diameter of 38 millimetres and a metal weight of 31.39 grams.\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse image by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo features a stunning profile portrait of a bald eagle head.

The arrangement of the feathers above its large golden eyes gives the adult eagle a frowning countenance that is perhaps a factor in the bird’s symbolic associations with power. The most important attribute on this iconic head, however, is the eyes. About four times more powerful than human sight, eagles’ vision, which is full-colour, has two focal centres, allowing the bird to see both in front and behindin a single glance. The eyes remain clean and moist with the help of translucent nictitating membranes that allow the bird to “blink” without disrupting its gaze. It is this gifted vision that empowers the eagle to spot relatively small prey underwater or in grassy plains while soaring hundreds of metres in the air—despite these prey animals’ natural camouflage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bald eagle breathes through “naris” or nostrils on each side of its large beak. The beak itself, though impressive in size and shape, is used almost exclusively for tearing food and does not play a major role in hunting or fighting—the tasks of the bird’s massive talons. The bald eagle is not a vocal bird; its call resembles that of a gull.

At just 14-17 cm (6-7 in), it can excavate a nest cavity in a dead tree just 10 cm (4 in) around. This gives the Downy more habitat options than larger woodpeckers that need bigger trees, and it often nests in suburban woods across southern Canada. The Downy can survive a life-time of hammering because its strong, chisel-shaped beak, spongy skull structure and strong neck muscles absorb the force of the blows. Even its nostrils are covered with feathers to avoid inhaling sawdust. Watch for a flash of red on the back of the head when you locate that tell-tale dat-dat-dat —it's a sure sign that a male Downy has just come into view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003especifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: 25 cents\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 25,000\u003cbr\u003eComposition: Nickel plated steel\u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 12.61\u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 35\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Plain\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Specimen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful full-colour painted design of one of thirteen of Canada’s species of woodpeckers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis theme is featured in the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s ‘wildly’ popular Hinterland Who’s Who program.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176089550980,"sku":"888164","price":119.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2008_birds_of_Canada_woodpecker_illustration_reverse__51217.1399398552.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759520105"},{"product_id":"2010-25-cent-coloured-coin-goldfinch","title":"2010 25-CENT COLOURED COIN - GOLDFINCH","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Golden hues on the wing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cheerful chirping song from a tree in an open space may help you to spot an American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis).

An apex predator with no natural enemies, the bald eagle has long been a potent symbol of vision, power, and stoicism. The adult boasts a wing span of more than 2 metres, a standing height of about 1 metre, and an average weight of up to 7 kilograms. Females are generally larger than males. The renowned raptor is noted for its distinctive dark-feathered body and white-feathered head, large golden eyes, bright yellow beak, and massive yellow claws armed with sharp, powerful talons. This long-lived bird can survive nearly 30 years in the wild and even longer in captivity. Nesting in tall trees near large bodies of water and well away from human habitation, bald eagles survive on a diet of fish, birds, invertebrates, and small mammals, but are opportunistic feeders who will also steal from other predators and eat carrion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176219967620,"sku":"143436","price":333.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2015_Fine_Silver_Fractional_Set_Bald_Eagle_Packaging__12978.1430356468.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759525808"},{"product_id":"2016-10-fine-silver-coin-canvasback-duck","title":"2016 1\/2oz $10 CANVASBACK DUCK FINE SILVER COIN","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest issue in the Royal Canadian Mint’s popular Ducks of Canada series features North America’s largest diving duck: the Canvasback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSRP: $69.95\u003cbr\u003eItem Number: 142650\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 6-23932-06288-7\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% fine silver\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 10,000\u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 15.87\u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 34\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $10\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Glen Scrimshaw\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Maroon clamshell with black beauty box\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Canvasback is the sixth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s popular Ducks of Canada series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA limited mintage of 10,000 and highly popular subject matter for bird watchers, duck hunters and coloured coin admirers means that this coin is sure to be sought after by collectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully designed by Saskatchewan artist Glen C.

Underwater, the young loon demonstrates the species’ remarkable diving abilities as it uses its webbed feet to propel it forward like a torpedo, its beak quickly closing in on the small fish that will provide it with a well-earned aquatic feast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176272822404,"sku":"148871","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2015_20_Fine_Silver_Coin_Geometric_Art_Loon__52785.1445379531.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759529263"},{"product_id":"2016-10-fine-silver-coin-celebration-of-love","title":"2016 1\/4oz $10 CELEBRATION OF LOVE FINE SILVER COIN","description":"\u003cp\u003eLove is universal.
