A complete guide to the many birds of the Lone Star State
Texas is one of the best places for birding in North America as the
diversity of habitats and shear breadth of the state means that
birdwatchers can see birds of the western deserts and scrublands; the
eastern woodlands, hills, and prairies; and the Gulf Coast marshes and
wetlands. Suburban areas throughout the state also attract species of
tremendous diversity, from tropical warblers to waterfowl. As a flyover
state for many migrating species, backyard birders can see hundreds of
species per year as they head north in the spring and south for the
winter. The American Birding Association Field Guide to Birds of Texas
includes more than 300 species birders are most likely to see in the
state. Illustrated with hundreds of crisp, color photographs, it
includes descriptions of each bird along with tips of when and where to
see them, written by an expert Texas birder. It is the perfect companion
for anyone interested in the amazing diversity and beauty of the birds
of Texas.
