The Birds of Texas, by noted naturalist, writer, and photographer John L. Tveten, gives bird-watchers some-
thing no mere field guide ever has: fine color photography with personal, often lyrical, accounts of 285
migratory and resident Texas birds in a beautifully crafted book. Also included arc tips for attracting birds
to gardens; ecological threats to birds; endangered species; and-for the serious bird-watcher- a complete, up-
to-date checklist for the state. More satisfying than a field guide, less cumbersome than a coffee-table tome,
this book is attractive, useful, and affordable.
