The small maritime province of Nova Scotia supports a varied avifauna that includes migratory songbirds and shorebirds, breeding seabirds, and hardy year-round residents like Bald Eagles and Boreal Chickadees. The prolific fish-hunting Osprey is a fitting provincial bird for Canada’s Ocean Playground. For many people, birds represent an entry point into the study of nature, so it helps to get acquainted with an area’s most representative species. This beautifully illustrated guide features 140 common and familiar birds, as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a handy resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge deeper connections with Nova Scotia’s most common birds. Made in the USA.
