East Coast
Birds by the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History
The East Coast of Canada is a pretty happening place
for birds. With so many different habitats -- from barren coastal islands
to the lush green forests of the interior -- the East Coast promises you
an exciting variety of birds. We've captured the essence of birding in
the Maritimes with a searchable version of Robie Tufts' Birds of Nova Scotia,
a colourful on-line Magazine, and tips on where to see birds in Nova Scotia.
And don't forget to test your BQ with our interactive series of quizzes!
