From coast to coast to coast, birds fill every habitat of every part of Canada. Most are small andlightweight; however, like other small beings, they are an integral and intricate aspect of every ecosystem. Birds grace us with so much colour, music and poetry. By virtue of their beautiful song, by virtue of being some of our most visible wildlife, and by virtue ofthe inspiration they provide with their gift of flight, birds enrich our lives. Our Feathered Friends: A Bird's Eye-View of Canada is a masterpiece from the illustrious Canadian ornithologist and conservationist Christian Artuso.
