Published in collaboration with: Société québécoise de protection des oiseaux and the Centre de conservation de la Faune ailée (CCFA).

With 350 bird species, the Montreal region is the most prolific in Quebec. This 361-page guide allows us to discover them one by one, often just steps from our homes, near downtown, in regional parks, on Mount Royal, or in the islands of the St. Lawrence… in total, 55 observation sites spread across a territory extending from the American border to the Laurentians and from Ontario to Lake St. Pierre.
No one was better prepared than Pierre Bannon to describe the peculiarities of each site and reveal all the ornithological riches of the region. Fifteen years of field experience with the best ornithologists of the Société québécoise de protection des oiseaux have made him an authority on the subject. He conceived and produced this guide with passion; to facilitate the discovery of each location, he provides a detailed map and a precise itinerary, all enhanced with magnificent illustrations by two talented artists, Sylvain Tanguay and René Roy.
This work is, ultimately, the essential complement to any good identification guide.
