This fine silver coin features the Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides), capturing the exquisiteness of its stunning sky blue plumage in full colour. The mountain bluebird population was in decline before bird lovers began building and placing nest boxes in open fields and along fence posts, where a breeding pair may opt to build a nest that is sheltered from predators and the elements. This small songbird has a migratory range that stretches from Canada to Mexico.

The Migratory Birds Convention, signed in 1916, stands as a groundbreaking milestone in the history of wildlife conservation. It's enforced by Canada's Migratory Birds Convention Act and America's Migratory Birds Treaty Act, both of which protect species, nests, and eggs from unregulated hunting or commercial activities.
