Manitoba Birds: An Introduction to Familiar SpeciesPaperback, 7 April 2021

Manitoba's provincial bird Great Gray Owl captures the province's varied and often rugged landscapes and wetlands, which include mighty Lake Winnipeg, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, sweeping expanses of tundra, vast tracts of boreal forest, and expansive prairies. Almost 400 bird species are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants in Manitoba, where you can also find iconic species like Snowy Owl, Gyrfalcon, Clay-colored Sparrow, and Spruce Grouse. Given the ubiquity of birds, they are often the entry point into getting to know the land. It helps, then, to have a portable reference on the most familiar species to use as a starting point. The beautifully illustrated Manitoba Birds features 140 common birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to get better acquainted with Manitoba's birds and peer more closely into their fascinating lives.
