Birds of the Saskatoon Area introduces the reader to the climate, land forms, and vegetation of the region. It provides detailed information and maps on birding hot spots, as well as informative accounts of abundance, migratory movements, breeding, and habitat preference of each species. Intended primarily for local residents interested in birds and the outdoors, it will also be much appreciated by visitors to the area. Based on the accumulated observations of over 200 observers during a period of 45 years, it is a comprehensive introduction to 341 species of birds identified in Saskatoon and surrounding area. Over 300 pages in length, it contains 40 line drawings by local artists, 27 habitat photographs, and 14 colour maps. Designed to accompany a field guide, it is available from the Saskatoon Nature Society and Nature Saskatchewan (Regina).

This is a scrapbook of nature notes about the northern prairies; edited by Peter Jonker, it combines a carefully chosen collection of articles written by society members for our weekly Nature Notes column in the former Sunday Sun with a wonderful selection of photographs and illustrations. In all, over one hundred people have had a hand in producing the slightly more than 200 pages of easy reading and enjoyment. It is available from the Saskatoon Nature Society.
