About this title

Synopsis

Some of the most impressive migration spectacles in eastern North America occur in Québec, where the iconic Snowy Owl is the provincial bird. Thousands upon thousands of Greater Snow Geese pass through La Belle Province each spring and fall in fantastic displays of energy and sound. There are also mass movements of songbirds and shorebirds as well as myriad summer breeders. In total, over 430 bird species are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants in Québec. For those looking to get better acquainted with the province’s birds and peer more closely into their fascinating lives, it helps to have a portable reference to cut through the clutter and focus on the most familiar species. The beautifully illustrated and bilingual Québec Birds features 140 common species as well an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to deepen their connection with the land through its attendant bird life. Made in the USA.
