BIRDS have an almost magical quality about them which endears them to nature lovers everywhere. They are by far the most popular group of living creatures judging by the numbers of persons who enjoy watching them...
Undoubtedly birds were of considerable interest to the men aboard the first vessels to venture along our coast more than two hundred years ago. The presence of birds often meant proximity to land and of course they must have been a very welcome addition to an otherwise exceedingly monotonous diet. ...we are indeed indebted to Mr. Theed Pearse, the dean of British Columbia's amateur ornithologists, who has deveoted many years of an unusually long life to this task. -Forword by G. Clifford Carl.
