Description

A great introductory field guide to the birds of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This book features over 80 species found across two prairie provinces. Each account has two pages of colour illustrations and detailed information including each bird's common and scientific name, its size and voice, a range map, a photograph of the bird's egg, along with information on nesting, size of the egg and incubation period. Illustrations of similar species also are featured.
