Birds of Texas, John L. Tveten

John Tveten

How many times have you seen a bird, used your field guide to identify it, and then wished that the field guide had more than a sentence about the bird itself? John Tveten's The Birds of Texas fills in that gap. This is an exceptional book for beginning and experienced birders, and for those of you who keep your birdfeeders and birdbaths religiously cleaned and filled, know you have red, brown and blue birds, but don't know their names. Birds of Texas covers 300 of the most abundant and widespread Texas birds, all of them are large, colorful and easily seen. The color photographs, collected from many of the best bird photographers, will assist you in identifying these birds accurately and quickly. Birds are grouped according to their habitat and behavior and each is given a detailed description that brings out it personality and vitality. Special attention is given to threatened species and the relationship between birds and their overall environment. This is not, however, a field guide to be carried with you while you go birding, but is instead a great companion book to help you learn more about specific birds.
