> The Ontario Atlas is one of just a few regional atlases to enter its
> second edition. Not only does the atlas provide information about the
> current distribution of species in the province, but because of the
> ability to look back on the first publication of 20 years ago, it also
> offers insight into the changes populations have experienced, which
> can be applied outside of Ontario as well. The second atlas also saw
> the introduction of methodology that has allowed us to create
> abundance maps for many species in the province, something that has
> not been done before.

> The atlas is a valuable reference that would be a great addition to
> any birder?s shelf. It will be 9x12 inches and contain over 700 full
> colour pages of photographs, maps, and charts for the 300 species
> breeding in the province. It is available at a presale price of CA$79,
> well below the anticipated retail price of CA$96 (prices include GST,
> distribution, and handling, US residents are exempt from taxes), but
> only until February 28, 2007. The presale allows us to determine how
> many copies to print and helps cover publication costs. The book will
> be published in the fall of 2007. More information, including sample
> accounts showing anticipated page layout, are available at the atlas?
> website, http://www.birdsontario.org/. Orders can be placed online, or
