The Land of Jacques Cartier

Did Cartier dream of making a country from this land of a million birds In his records of his exploration he certainly marvelled at seeing the great auks that have since disappeared from Isle aux Ouaiseaulx the razorbills and gannets that are gone from BlancSablon and the kittiwakes from Anticosti all the winged creatures of all the islands which he described as being as full of birds as a meadow is of grass And thats not even counting the countless snow geese
