Book Description
Written by distinguished field biologist and birding expert, Dr. Fred J. Alsop III, who himself has identified more than 3,200 species worldwide, Birds of Canada features over 1,000 photographs of birds known to regularly visit or breed in Canada. Each species receives its own full-page profile, in concise, jargon-free language, providing detailed information on song, behavior, nesting, population, birdhouses and conservation. Annotated color photographs highlight the distinct characteristics of both the male and the female. To make identification easier, there are illustrations of flight patterns, nest identification, range maps and similar birds, as well as special color tabs indicating length, wingspan, plumage, habitat, migration and life expectancy.
