Attention last minute shoppers, it's crunch time!

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the bird lover on your list, our books are the perfect solution.

Young or old, these books will help you identify some of the birds found in your area.

Backyard Birds features 24 of the most common birds found in backyards. Not only do we offer tips for what feeders and seed to use to attract each bird, there is also a checklist in the back to record your sightings.

Waterbirds and More features 24 species of bird found near water including ducks, shorebirds, wading birds, and swans to name a few. Ever wonder what that bird is on the local pond or walking down the beach? Our book will help you identify them.

Also makes a great coffee table book to relieve that awkward silence when you're left alone in the living room with that relative no one wanted to come for Christmas but someone felt obligated to invite. You'll thank us later!

"Have you ever wondered why you rarely see a Common Loon on land, or what kind of duck is floating by your dock? It’s time to get to know the birds you find on the water. From the authors of Backyard Birds: A Beginner’s Guide to Backyard Birds in Southwestern Ontario, comes Waterbirds and More. With beautiful photographs of each bird taken by Paul Roedding of Paul Roedding Photography and vivid descriptions written by Megan Switzer, you will quickly learn how to identify twenty-four different species of birds, and where to find them in Eastern North America. New birders will discover the terminology to describe the birds they are seeing, as well as several interesting facts about local wildlife. Once you learn to identify these birds, record your own bird sightings with the convenient checklist in the back of the book!"
