Birds of the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

Very good softcover in dust jacket. Jacket rubbed, chipped (with one significant tear at the spine), and a bit sun faded. Outer edge of textblock is age toned; interior bright and clean.

The Okanagan Valley lies in southern British Columbia like the neck of an hourglass between the immense boreal forests to the north and the arid plateaus of the Great Basin to the south. This strategic location, along with the diversity of local habitats, has produced a bird fauna of unusual richness. For almost a century the Okanagan has been a focal point of Canadian ornithology, and a thorough and perceptive review of its birds has long been awaited. Seldom does a regional bird book appear with the scope and detailed analysis found in this volume.
