About The Book

In Canada’s farthest eastern reaches lies the province of Newfoundland and Labrador—a vast and rugged swath of land adorned with boreal forests, bogs, and subarctic tundra, all of which support a rich bird diversity that exceeds 400 species. Towering seaside cliffs are home to millions of seabirds during the breeding season. Thousands of neotropical sandpipers and plovers pass through twice a year, and iconic residents like Bald Eagles, Boreal Chickadees, and Willow Ptarmigans endure all four seasons on “the Rock.” Birds represent the entry point into nature study for many people, so it’s helpful to get acquainted with a region’s most representative species. Featuring beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar birds, this helpful resource also includes an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge deeper and more meaningful connections with Newfoundland and Labrador’s fascinating birds. Made in the USA.

Raves and Reviews

“You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won’t bite. So for our friends just starting to bird – and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window – we’re giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the “don’t overwhelm me” feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color.”

“Has this ever happened to you? You’re out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you’re not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket-sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 ¼” inches long and flat as yesterday’s beer.”
