Saskatchewan Birds - Pocket Guide

Saskatchewan’s native prairie/grasslands on its southern plains and the rugged rocks, coniferous forests, rivers and lakes to its north host a diversity of bird life. It offers key breeding and migratory nesting areas, with more than 400 species recorded. This portable folding guide includes illustrations and descriptions of 140 species and a back-panel map featuring the top bird viewing hotspots. A handy field reference for birders building their life-lists and the perfect take-along guide for visitors and nature enthusiasts of all ages.
