If you are a birder and traveling to Newfoundland then this book is a must! Newfoundland has such a unique combination of thick boreal forests, wide-open tundras, and soaring cliffs for nesting sea birds like Atlantic Puffins and Northern Gannets. Back in the early 1940s the Dominion of Newfoundland (pre-Canada!) began a ten year project called The Birds of Newfoundland and invited famed ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson to come take a look. He ended up watercolor painting an incredible series of plates (including the one on the cover) and they’re featured throughout the book. A wonderful guide.
