Synopsis

The TOS Handbook of Texas Birds is the most ambitious edition yet of the Texas Ornithological Society checklist of Texas, based on the work of the Texas Bird Records Committee over almost three decades. This revised edition provides authoritative annotations on the abundance, status, and distribution of all species encountered in Texas; lists rare, introduced, and hypothetical species in the appendices; and offers a comprehensive reference section. The book covers more than 620 species of birds currently listed for Texas, with expert descriptions of the occurrence, 641 convenient range maps and distribution details, plus 150 color photographs by well-known bird photographers of Texas specialties, rarities, and species of conservation concern. A one-stop source of information on Texas birds, The TOS Handbook of Texas Birds is an essential companion for bird enthusiasts.
