Description:

A concise full-colour guide to wild birds and birding hotspots throughout southern Ontario.

Birding is one of Canada's most popular outdoor activities. Identifying species at backyard feeders, in parks, fields, and forests is popular with young and old alike. And in parks, on shorelines, and in rural areas throughout Ontario, there are internationally recognized spots for seeing migrant and breeding birds, such as the tundra swan and the peregrine falcon.

The Lorimer Field Guide to 225 Ontario Birds is a handy reference for beginners and a useful local guide for experienced birders. This easy-to-use guide will help you enjoy bird watching in backyards, parks, fields, and forests around Ontario, from Point Pelee to Ottawa. Key features of this new edition include up-to-date birding hotspot listings with new locations and current species sighted at each, and a new section on the Algonquin area.

This new edition of Jeff Domm's popular and successful field guide stands out from other leading bird guides with its simple visual presentation of a range of key facts, including:
  • Identifying features of every species
  • Frequency and seasonality info specific to southern Ontario
  • Preferred feeder types
  • Nesting details
  • Egg identification
  • 100+ top birding sites throughout southern Ontario, with locator maps
A visual bird index, arranged by size and colour, makes it easy to match the bird you see with its descriptive page in the book.

Also included is a section featuring over 100 of the best places for spotting birds in Ontario. Each is listed with directions or a street address for GPS or mapping, and locator maps. These locations have been selected by experienced birders Ted Cheskey, Pete Read, Ron Tozer, Hugh Currie, and Mike Street.

Jeffrey C. Domm has had a lifelong interest in nature and wildlife. Over the past two decades, he has illustrated more than 20 wildlife books. He lives and works close to the shores of Halifax Harbour, in the village of Cow Bay, Nova Scotia.
