Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The west coast region of Vancouver Island encompasses mountainous terrain, rainforest, mudflats, and ragged coastlines that bear the brunt of storms spawned by an immense ocean. Remote and inaccessible to birders until well into the twentieth century, the rugged beauty of this 'wild west coast,' attracts visitors from far and wide. And it also boasts a distinctive avian population that has made it one of Canada's premier bird-watching destinations.The Birds of Vancouver Island's West Coast is the essential guide to the region's birds. It presents accounts of all of the species thus far recorded as occurring there - 360 in total - and updates the 231 species recorded up to 1978. Each account includes a brief introduction to the species and an overview of its total range. Key to the book's detailed and authoritative accounts are first-hand observations and anecdotes recorded by the author over more than forty years. By far the most detailed and up-to-date account of the birds of this region, this book will inform, delight, and surprise amateur and professional birders alike.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nature and wildlife photographer Adrian Dorst captures the enduring spirit of Vancouver Island's west coast, reflecting on the history of resilience that has helped preserve Clayoquot Sound's rich and wild ecosystems.Over fifty years ago, Adrian Dorst fell in love with the West Coast. He has wandered its windswept shores, sheltered streams and ancient forests with camera in hand ever since. The Wild West Coast puts this rugged region on display, with over 150 photographs of the plants, wildlife and landscapes of Clayoquot Soundone of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. From the quiet charm of a fish-focused black bear to the cedar and spruce giants that shelter the forest floor, from misty lakes and valleys to a school of playful dolphins, Dorst's photographs explore the secluded and storm-tossed environments that make up the Vancouver Island coast. Each chapter focuses on a distinct aspect of Clayoquot's ecosystems and the wildlife that resides there, including the birds, mammals, and intertidal life that call the rainforests, shoreline, and remote lakes and valleys home.Alongside this visual narrative, Dorst reflects on the 1980s grassroots movement dubbed "The War In the Woods"a fight to keep Clayoquot wild in the face of exploitative old-growth logging practices. Led by the Ahousaht, Hesquiaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht Nations, this movement transformed the conservation landscape in BC and fought to preserve much of the region's old-growth forests. Acknowledging both the sound's natural beauty and the monumental efforts that have kept it that way, The Wild West Coast celebrates the landscapes and life in Clayoquot Soundand reminds readers of what it takes to protect them.…
