The North American Winter Wren(Troglodytes troglodytes), found its own way
to Europe and is known there simply as the Wren. The Common Loon , of North
America is called the Great Northern Diver(Gavia immer) in the British
Isles. The Common Raven(Corvus corvax) is now rare in the British Isles but
found all around the Northern Hemisphere. European Skylarks(Alauda arvensis)
and Cockoos(Cuculus canorus) have found their way to Alalska via Siberia.

We travel to a family home quite often and have observed similarities.
