Promotional Information

"Birders have shown that they want and need regional avian distribution books such as this one. This book will fill a gap in the effort to accomplish this sort of regional guide for all areas of Texas. The Trans-Pecos is a popular destination for birders-making this ever more important." -- Greg W. Lasley, Editor, Texas Region, Field Notes
