Abe Books #5758
Many people have found that, with its rich endowments of flora and fauna, the delightful Muskoka and Parry Sound environment provides an unequalled opportunity for relaxing outdoor activity. Now, for the first time since 1901, a complete annotated birdlist for these two districts is available.
The intent of this book is to act as a complement to any of the many standard field guides now available. Once identification of a bird in question has been decided or guessed at, this volume can be conveniently consulted. The bulk of the text is comprised of. individual accounts of each species known to occur in the area.
Within these accounts, Parry Sound and Muskoka notes on seasonal status, arrival dates, nesting behaviour, favoured habitats and localities, and historical changes are given.
Anyone who undertakes to investigate the area's bird-life, even in a casual way, is sure to find it rewarding. In addition, because there are always exciting bird finds to be made, every observer is likely to find something this book would deem out of the ordinary.
