Come down to the Nature Centre on Sunday, September 13th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm for an engaging talk and to connect with other local bird enthusiasts. Bring your own copy of the field guide or buy one at the event and have it signed by the authors.

About the book: “With clear descriptions designed to be accessible for beginner and intermediate birders, this extensive guide is also useful for experts in the field. It comprises 305 full-page species accounts for regularly occurring species and 29 abbreviated accounts for more rarely occurring birds. Each full account includes the most up-to-date species name; one to four full-colour photographs; a colour-coded range map; a clear description of appearance, status and distribution, habitat, behaviour, and sounds; and tips on where to find the species... With so many birds to see and hear in every region of the province, A Field Guide to the Birds of Alberta is the definitive guide for locals and visitors alike.” (from Heritage House Publishing)
