About Newfoundland & Labrador Birds: A Folding Pocket

Product Description Newfoundland/Labrador is the most easterly province of Canada and home to more than 350 species of resident or migratory birds. This stunning destination is a must-see for birdwatchers who will observe millions of seabirds, birds of prey, and some rare species of birds. Newfoundland Birds is a portable folding guide with 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 travelers and nature enthusiasts of all ages. Review “You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won't bite. So for our friends just starting to bird – and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window – we're giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the “don't overwhelm me” feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color.” ― Birding Business Magazine “Has this ever happened to you? You're out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket-sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 ¼” inches long and flat as yesterday's beer.” ― Chicago Press & Sun-Bulletin About the Author Zoologist Jim Kavanagh has made a career out of introducing novices to plants, animals, the sciences and world cultures.
