Ideal for the armchair bird enthusiast or dedicated bird watcher, this book includes stunning full-color photographs revealing individual species with unrivaled clarity. The 436 most commonly seen birds are pictured with plumage variations, and information on similar birds is provided to make differentiation easy, from game birds and waterfowl to shorebirds and swifts to owls, wood warblers, finches, and more.

Bird, Emeritus Professor of Wildlife Biology at McGill University, this updated edition of Birds of Canada is the ultimate photographic guide to Canadian birds.
