This beautiful little volume will delight and inspire bird lovers who
live in or are visiting southwestern B.C. An amazing amount of useful
information is packed into this handy, portable guide, which will appeal both to
experienced birders wanting to learn more about the behaviours and habitats of
local species and to beginners who are still learning to identify them. Along
with rich, full-colour photos of each species, you’ll find a map of the region
covered, information on birding equipment, habitat descriptions, and tips on
when to go birding and how to attract birds to your yard. Pages are colour-coded
according to related species, and the guide is organized by families so that
related species are shown together.
