The first of its kind in Canada, The Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario provides an up-to-date picture of the distribution of the province's nearly 300 species of nesting birds, at a level of detail that has never before been feasible. This degree of precision was possible because if the 180,000 hours of field work undertaken by over 1,300 volunteers from 1981 through 1985.

The Atlas is filled with maps and information about the birds of Ontario. The maps and data show where the birds occur and indicate whether or not a species is widepsread or local, common or rare. As such, the Atlas is a useful tool for seeing which birds nest in your area or near your favorite birdwatching, hiking or camping spots. 

The informative text accompanying each map tells you more about the bird, including an explanation of why it occurs where it does, why it is absent in some areas, or perhaps why it is rare or common in the province. 

The Atlas is a useful tool for conservationists!

Unique markers: The previous owner would add a related personal stamp and a postage stamp on the inside cover of each of their books. This one (Shown in photos) shows a colorful bird with the words, "Waterfowl Conservatory".
