It just so happens that today in 1916 the US government signed into law the National Parks Service Act. That means today is the 100th anniversary of the US National Parks. You can read more on the National Parks Centennial website.
We’ve chosen a list of some our favorite parks. Let’s start with Acadia National Park, the nation’s first national park on the east coast. A noted stop for migratory birds in spring and fall.

Great that you are celebrating the US National Parks Centennial. Unfortunately the bird model you feature, though beautiful, is of a species found only in Europe/Asia (the European Robin). The American Robin is from a completely different group of birds! 🙂
thanks for the clarification Chris. Perhaps we can inspire other designers to make a North American robin?
