Boasting more bird species than any other state (naturally!), Texas is a year-round birders' destination. Birding Texas is an indispensable guide for every birder, from novice to advanced life-lister. The authors highlight 120 of the state's most productive sites, improving your chance of spotting a Black-capped Vireo in springtime or a sandhill crane in winter. Detailed maps and concise information on habitat preference make it easy to plan a birding expedition.
Back Cover copy
The centerpiece of the book is a thoroughly researched status and distribution chart, 46 pages long, that tells which birds occur and how frequently in each of the state's ten birding regions. Such data has never been offered along regional lines before. This book includes more than 120 maps to help you find your way, a list of addresses and phone numbers to help you plan your birding trip, and a gallery of illustrations, drawn by artist Mimi Hoppe Wolf, of the 32 birds that can dependably be found only in Texas. Also included are sections on pelagic birding and the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. A big state requires a big guide. Make Birding Texas a part of your next ornithological adventure in the Lone Star State.
