Hawks migrating over Île Perrot, ducks congregating on Lake
Saint-François, warblers converging on Mount-Royal... the 350 bird species
recorded in the Montreal area make it the most prolific in Quebec. |
|
It extends from the U.S. border to the Laurentians, from
Ontario to Lake Saint-Pierre; its diverse habitat includes the wilderness of
Mont Tremblant Park and downtown Montreal. |
|
Since 1917, the Province of Quebec Society for the
Protection of Birds has been holding field trips and keeping records in the
Montreal area. |
|
Pierre Bannon, one of its most ardent members, has been
combing the area for over fifteen years. His intimate knowledge of its
habitat, combined with the PQSPB's longstanding expertise, make this book
more than just a site guide. It is a lively account of the area's bird life
and an invaluable research source. |
|
The illustrations are by Sylvain Tanguay and René Roy. |
|
The 55 sites have maps and itineraries to help the reader
discover the fascinating world of birds in and around Montreal. |
