Description
This second volume of the popular Formac Pocketguide to Nova Scotia Birds features seashore and water birds commonly found on Nova Scotia's coastal and inland waterways.
The Pocketguide helps identify small birds found along the beach, gulls and ducks swimming offshore, and unusual marsh birds. It outlines their names, identifying features, calls, and the times of year when they are most likely to be seen in Nova Scotia.
The book features full-colour illustrations, an observation calendar, and keys to identifying characteristics of each bird--size, foot type, flight characteristics, feeding technique, and egg type, if breeding in Nova Scotia
The Formac Pocketguide to Nova Scotia Birds is a handy reference for beginners and practised birders, and includes 25 suggested locations around the province where good birdwatching is assured.
