Birds of the Raincoast: Habits and Habitat: The diverse habitats of the raincoast are home to many, many birds, including the yellow-green wood-warblers and elegant Trumpeter Swans of the estuary; the scruffy Killdeer, salmon-loving Bald Eagle, garrulous Belted Kingfisher and dippers and mergansers of the river ecosystem; the enterprising Brown-Headed Cowbird, spectacular Red-Winged Blackbird and beloved Song Sparrow of the open fields; the owls, those “great bugaboos of the feathered tribes” that hunt mostly at night; the thrushes of the forest, with their flute-like songs, as well as woodpeckers, jays and the Brown Creeper, which spirals up tree trunks to feed and to impress females; the jewel-like Rufous Hummingbird and strikingly beautiful Western Tanager that delight city-dwellers; and the hardy ptarmigan, exuberant Clark's Nutcracker, thug-like Northern Shrike and notorious “camp robber” Gray Jay, also known as the whiskey jack, of the alpine areas.
Perfect for birdwatchers, naturalists, and environmentalists, this extraordinary collaborative work by four writers and nine photographers is engaging, accessible and jam-packed with fascinating information on the secret life of birds. It is a treasury of exquisite colour photographs paired with a rich text and an indispensable guide, not just for learning how to find and identify species that live on the raincoast, but also for understanding the natural history of birds and appreciating their presence in our world.
