A Little Wilderness: The Natural History of Toronto, Bill Ivy, 1983
From the jacket: " Even today, despite the explosive growth of the past twenty years, Metropolitan Toronto remains exceptionally rich in wildlife. Largely because of its ravines and its thousands of acres of parkland, the city if home to an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. Delicate wildflowers, exotic butterflies, frogs, turtles, birds, animals large and small, are all to be found by the patient, careful observer. There has been no full length book on the subject since 1913. This new work portrays nearly one hundred species of mammals, birds, insects, and flowers that still grace Toronto today. The text traces the natural history of the region from prehistoric times to the present."
