Birds of the Canadian Rockies is the first field guide to feature birds from the entire Canadian Rocky Mountain region, including national parks, provincial parks, and wilderness areas.
For nature-lovers, backpackers, highway travellers, kitchen-window birders, and the generally curious-minded, this easy-to-pack reference is an invaluable introduction to over 200 of the most interesting and most common species of birds to be found in the rich variety of Rocky Mountain habitats. Each bird description is accompanied by a full colour photograph on the facing page. There are hints on where to look for birds, as well as interesting notes on their calls and songs, habitat selection, and behaviour. The book includes maps, diagrams of bird parts, common and scientific names, a list of bird families covered, a glossary of terms, a detailed bird checklist, and selected references.
