Canadians, this is for you!

So many bird books and so few directed to Canadians and the birds we enjoy. This book focuses on feeding wild birds in Canada. Dobson is experienced in attracting various birds since he's lived in the rich and abundant area in Galliano, BC and now resides in Toronto, Ontario. He has written a book that is ideal for the average backyard bird enthusiast. If you are a bit of a newcomer to feeding backyard birds, this book will suit you perfectly. Dobson covers the basics for the birds that can be drawn to our feeders here in Canada and the illustrations are ideal for identifying some of the more common visitors. He discusses the different foods, how to make some of your own mixtures, where best to locate your feeders for specific birds, and even helps you in dealing with those darn pests such as squirrels, mice, cats, and "hog" birds (as he calls them). For the handyperson, he has easy to follow instructions for making your own feeders. We've made a couple ourselves and one of them would make an ideal project to do with your children. There is nothing difficult to understand and I sure do appreciate a book that doesn't ignore Canadian bird enthusiasts. www.dianeschuller.com
