Faith is the Bird


Today, I'm beginning with the word "Finland".

The Republic of Finland is a sovereign state in Europe. A peninsula with the Gulf of Finland to the south, and the Gulf of Bothnia to the west, the country has land borders with Sweden to the northwest, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east. Estonia is south of the country across the Gulf of Finland. Finland is situated in the geographical region of Fennoscandia which also includes Scandinavia. Finland's population is 5.5 million, staying roughly on the same level over the past few years. The majority of the population is concentrated in the southern region. In terms of area, it is the 8th largest country in Europe and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union.


What is a Puffin Bird?

Puffins are any of three small species of alcids in the bird genus Fratercula with a brightly colored beak during the breeding season. These are pelagic seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water. They breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting crevices among rocks or in burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.
