Guide to Birds of
North
America. The only
difference is that there are fewer species and fewer quizzes. All other
features are the same as the full version. See our other listing for the

641
Birds of
Canada!! Here are those hardy
birds that are commonly found in the ten Canadian Provinces and three
Territories. In addition to the far north species like Hoary Redpoll, Northern
Hawk Owl and King Eider there are warblers, thrushes and others that head for
the boreal forests to nest. If you love the spring migration at Point Pelee,
this is the CD for you.
