From Canada’s top birding team comes the definitive guide to finding birds in British Columbia.
Veteran naturalist and birdfinder
Richard Cannings and his son,

The book is divided into eleven regions, from Vancouver Island to the Far North, providing bird lovers with detailed information about how to reach the best sites to look for birds, when to look for them, and what they might find.
Packed with descriptions of the natural history, ecosystems, and diverse landscapes of British Columbia and accompanied by numerous maps, this thorough guide is enhanced by
Donald Gunn ’s charming line drawings and the authors’ infectious enthusiasm, making it a must-have for novice and expert birders alike.
