Drawing on the knowledge and insight gained from a lifetime of watching, studying, and enjoying birds, this book is full of information about more than four hundred species of birds in Texas, most all of which author Gary Clark has seen first hand. Organized in the standard taxonomic order familiar to most birders, the book is written in a conversational tone that yields a wide-ranging discussion of each bird’s life history as well as an intimate look at some of its special characteristics and habits. Information regarding each species’ diet, voice, and nest is included as well as when and where it can be found in Texas. Magnificent photographs by Kathy Adams Clark accompany each bird’s entry.
For those just beginning to watch birds to those who can fully relate to the experiences and sentiments communicated here by a veteran birder, this book reveals the kind of personal connection to nature that careful attention to the birds around us can inspire.

Wonderful information and incredible photography Wonderful information and incredible photography. If you are a serious birder, this is a great guide. If you are simply one who loves nature, like me, it is just as great a guide to learning more about the birds of Texas.
Truly a terrific addition to our library Truly a terrific addition to our library. The photos alone are worth the price. Clearly this book represents not just a quick review of familiar birds, but rather the culmination of the authors’ lifetime experiences.
Book flys high. Very informative. Great review of Texas birds. Nice size. Fits nicely in back pack.
