What the dog found….
Yesterday I took Cisco outside to play for a bit and while she was wandering around the rocks she came across a bird…..I thought for a second she was actually going to catch it! It got away though. After she chased the bird, she came back to where she found it and started sniffing around. I went over to see what she had found…..and this is what I saw.
I don’t know much about birds, I just hope that Cisco didn’t scare the bird so bad that it won’t come back to its eggs. Does anyone know what kind of bird’s eggs they are?

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

I guess it’s a good thing that Cisco didn’t catch the bird! My guess would be ostrich. Oooooh! Wait, dinosaur eggs.

Can you give me an idea of what the bird looks like?

The male is black and white and the female is greyish. It looks like some type of duck.

Possibly Long-tailed Duck, although I’d expect to see more down than that at the nest. Check out this post for some photos, although there are better photos of the male a couple of posts later, on a post about Red-throated Loons.
