A Field Guide to Birds of Ontario (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780888545343)

A comprehensive guide to Ontario birds.

From watching the soaring Red-tailed Hawk to hearing the haunting call of the Common Loon, birds are our daily connection to nature. Birds, their migrations, and the state of their populations help us recognize the health of our ecosystems. Their songs and colours add beauty to our lives and their presence in almost every environment, from the most built-up inner city to the most remote forest, reminds us that we are part of nature, no matter where we are. A Field Guide to Birds of Ontario is the latest addition to ROM's bestselling field guide series and offers a closer look at the diversity of bird species regularly found in our province.

This guide offers detailed descriptions of migrant and resident Ontario bird species and accidentals, including notes on appearance, sound, habitat, and breeding. Close to 600 full-colour photographs from Ontario bird photographers have been carefully selected for quick and easy identification in the field. Includes distribution maps showing summer, migration, and winter ranges, alongside a handy glossary, checklist of Ontario birds, and an index for ease of navigation. The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure.
