Birds of Northeast Texas

the long version

"Birds of Northeast Texas is an annotated guide, for both novice and experienced birders, to the 390 species of birds that have been reliably recorded in northeast Texas. It is designed to augment field identification with commentary on status, distribution, and occurrence in this ornithologically rich region, which includes twenty-two counties in the state.". "Brief chapters introduce the area's geography and habitats and give readers an idea of where the best birdwatching spots are. The species accounts explain each species' status, distribution, and period of occurence in the region. They often also include a short narrative about habitat preference, unusual records, or some other interesting or unique aspect of a particular species."--BOOK JACKET.
