About this title

Review:

.".".fills a large gap by providing an up-to-date, detailed summary of the bird life of this amazing state. Anyone with an interest in the distribution of North American birds will want a copy for reference and for browsing." "A fine overview of the status and distribution of Texas' 623 species documented through 2002. There is just the right level of detail for such a readable, portable summary covering the incredible diversity of birds found within the Lone Star State. Accurate, and with excellent range maps."--Paul Lehman, Chief Range-Map consultant for the Sibley, National Geographic Society, and Roger Tory Peterson field guides; past editor, Birding magazine "An excellent account of the birds of the Lone Star State and one that should provide information for, not only residents of that state, but travelers and others interested in the myriad of birdlife that can be found there. I especially liked the treatment of those species not documented by some physical evidence to a separate category in an appendix. The fine photographs depict visual physical evidence, perhaps Indiana can follow suit with a similar guide."--Indiana Audubon Quarterly--Charles E. Keller "Indiana Audubon Quarterly "
