A bit outdated, but a good reference book for the basic birds found in Victoria gardens.

livre anglophone broché souple moyen format (1989) consacré à l'avifaune de Victoria (à l'extrêmité méridionale de l'île du même nom en Colombie Britannique); après 15 pages d'introduction incluant une carte couleur des lieux et la description illustrée des différentes familles aviaires, l'ouvrage décrit chacune des espèces concernées (88 en tout) par un article non systématisé illustré d'un grand dessin couleur; un logo identifie le type de milieu naturel et on trouve également un schéma d'abondance saisonnière mais il n'y a pas de carte de distribution locale ce qui aurait été génial; un chapitre traitant des problèmes pratiques de ornithologie de terrain (5 p) puis une liste de contrôle et un index closent le livre; ce petit guide local non exhaustif mais moderne et bien illustré ravira tous les européens ornithophiles amateurs ou confirmés comptant voyager ou s'installer dans cette ville; il ne remplacera cependant pas un guide d'identification compact continental ou occidental plus complet pour le terrain
