Description

The vast literature on the history of birds is continually growing, but rarely has this information been compiled so that it is readily available in one reference work.

Birds of Ontario is such a work, providing a comprehensive summary of the life history requirements of bird species in the province. In the first volume, information on habitat, limiting factors, and status is presented for 84 species of nonpasserines that occur regularly in Ontario.

These topics are covered for the three primary avian seasons: breeding, migration, and winter.

A wealth of information, including habitat, nest sites, territoriality, site fidelity, annual reproductive effort, habitat loss and degradation, and environmental contaminants, are covered in the species accounts.

The book is greatly enhanced by illustrations by Ross James.

Maps depicting breeding and wintering range are also presented for each species. Birds of Ontario will be an essential reference for wildlife biologists, environmental consultants, and planners preparing or reviewing environmental impact statements and environmental assessments.

Serious birders will find it of interest as well. Although the book focuses on Ontario birds, it is highly relevant to adjacent provinces and states.
