Notes


In this practical and approachable guide, Kerry Wood (1907–1998), the prolific Red Deer, Alberta–based writer, examines the wildlife commonly encountered by western Canadian farmers. Focusing primarily on birds and mammals, Wood describes their habitats and habits, distinguishing between species that may become agricultural pests and those that are generally beneficial if left undisturbed. Written in an accessible style marked by light humour, the book combines observation with practical advice, including methods of control when wildlife becomes a nuisance.
