"Have you ever wondered why you rarely see a Common Loon on land, or what kind of duck is floating by your dock? It’s time to get to know the birds you find on the water. From the authors of Backyard Birds: A Beginner’s Guide to Backyard Birds in Southwestern Ontario, comes Waterbirds and More. With beautiful photographs of each bird taken by Paul Roedding of Paul Roedding Photography and vivid descriptions written by Megan Switzer, you will quickly learn how to identify twenty-four different species of birds, and where to find them in Eastern North America. New birders will discover the terminology to describe the birds they are seeing, as well as several interesting facts about local wildlife. Once you learn to identify these birds, record your own bird sightings with the convenient checklist in the back of the book!"

The majority of our customers at KW Telescope are families starting out in Stargazing. Here is a perfect example of happy customers smiling away at their own adventures with their telescope. Thank you for sharing this special moment!
