Smith, Alan.

Canada is home to nearly 500 species of birds, from the Great Lakes and Great Plains to the forests of the Ontario and the far north Arctic Ocean.

This comprehensive book includes: identification notes, habitat, status, nesting, feeding, voice and notes on similar species. It gives each species's natural history, name origins, specific behaviors, and habits to observe. Species are color coded by habitat with a quick reference guide at the beginning of the book. In addition, there are: mnemonics to help remember species; descriptions of the conservation activities underway in all provinces; beautiful full-color illustrations as well as photographs for each species; over 450 updated range maps; bird watching tips and best sites; appendices of rare and accidental species, life lists, indexes, and glossary.
