Description
Book SynopsisSaskatchewan is known as the Land of Living Skies, and this might as well be a reference to its bird life. Spectacular congregations of ducks, geese, and cranes migrate through the famed Prairie Pothole Region where myriad lakes, ponds, and sloughs the potholes offer abundant feeding opportunities. In the southern grasslands, Western Meadowlarks and provincial bird Sharp-tailed Grouse are common breeders; Harris''s Sparrows and various species of wood-warblers nest in the boreal forests to the north. Birds offer an entry point into nature study and are often the means by which people connect more meaningfully with the land. To get better acquainted with the most representative species, it helps to have a portable reference like Saskatchewan Birds, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar 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 resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds'' fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
