The varied forms and coloring of native American waterfowl make them ideal subjects for a coloring book.

The illustrations depict a rich array of species in their natural habitats: Trumpeter swan; Canada goose; Green-winged teal; Tundra swan; Emperor goose; Common loon; Ruddy duck; Mallard duck; Northern shoveler; Wood duck; Blue goose; Hooded merganser; and many more.
