The Canadian territory of Nunavut has over 100 species of birds nearly all of which are migratory, with only the common raven, the snowy owl and the rock ptarmigan spending the winter. Most, if not all birds migrate to Nunavut for breeding purposes and tend to return to the same nesting grounds each year. Birds may be found all through Nunavut but not all birds are to be seen throughout the territory. Thus the horned lark can be found in all areas or Nunavut, except Ellesmere Island, the sparrow is rarely found outside of the mainland and the plovers are usually found only on the east coasts of Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island. Along with the regular birds can be found the occasional vagrant such as the barn swallow or blue jay but they are not covered here. ==Traditional usage== Beside a food source the Inuit had several other ways of using birds: *Skins from larger birds were used as towels. *Wings may have been used to dust or sweep. *Skins were used as make containers, slippers and if caribou were scarce parkas. *Children, mainly boys, would often learn to hunt by throwing stones at small birds. There are several dialects of Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun plus two alphabets, Inuktitut syllabics and Latin. The Inuit name or spelling may differ from one region to another and in extreme cases from one community to another. Thus the word ''bird'' may be: ᑎᖕᒥᐊᑦ or tingmiaq. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of birds of Nunavut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
