Synopsis

In Canada’s farthest eastern reaches lies the province of Newfoundland and Labrador—a vast and rugged swath of land adorned with boreal forests, bogs, and subarctic tundra, all of which support a rich bird diversity that exceeds 400 species. Towering seaside cliffs are home to millions of seabirds during the breeding season. Thousands of neotropical sandpipers and plovers pass through twice a year, and iconic residents like Bald Eagles, Boreal Chickadees, and Willow Ptarmigans endure all four seasons on “the Rock.” Birds represent the entry point into nature study for many people, so it’s helpful to get acquainted with a region’s most representative species. Featuring beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar birds, this helpful resource also includes an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge deeper and more meaningful connections with Newfoundland and Labrador’s fascinating birds. Made in the USA.
