Featured Reviews

Birds of Texas is a generally very fine guide, it has long, well written descriptions of a large range of species, good maps, and informative text on birding sites and the different ecologies to be found in the huge state. Readers are likely to be divided on the benefits of a photo-based guide versus an illustration-based guide. While I generally prefer the latter, I did find the photos in this book to be clear and helpful; if different plumages need to be shown, they generally are. Were I birding in Texas, I would be very happy to have this guide and I will want it as a home reference.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy in exchange for a fair review.
