The atlas represents an enormous coordinated effort by over 3000 birders who surveyed the province from Lake Erie to Hudson Bay. It summarizes the state of Ontario birds, including information on each species’ biology and abundance. Special sections analyze changes in bird populations and distribution, indicating which species are most imperilled and which are thriving.This book is the definitive reference not only for birdwatchers and biologists, but for anyone with an interest in nature and the state of the environment.
