Introducing…..
Birds of Hamilton
and surrounding areas
By Robert Curry
A publication of the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club
This 600-page reference book to the status of over 385 species of birds
that have occurred in the Hamilton Study Area will be published in
September 2006.
The Hamilton Study Area covers a 25-mile/40 km circle from Hamilton’s
Dundurn Castle, and so includes all or parts of Brant, Haldimand,
Halton, Norfolk, Peel, Waterloo, Wellington and Niagara Counties.
As well as detailed accounts of each species, the book features:
· 32 pages of colour photographs by such expert bird photographers as
Sam Barone, Barry Cherriere, Brandon Holden, Jean Iron, Robert McCaw,
Ken Newcombe, George Peck and others.
· Original art by Robert Bateman, David Beadle and Peter Burke
· A provocative foreword by Fred Bodsworth
· Chapters by leading local field naturalists covering a wide range of
birding projects, and the history of birding activity in the area
· Detailed colour maps of the region’s hot spots and vegetation types
· Seasonal bar graphs for each species.
All proceeds from this publication go to support the Hamilton
Naturalists’ Club Conservation projects.
