Birds of the Texas Hill Country (Corrie Herring Hooks Series)

Rating:
Summary: General book on birds of the Hill Country of Texas
Review: As has been said before this book is not a field guide but nor is it a book of science either as Lockwood does not review the literature nor provide any details as to why so and so a species is considered common, uncommon etc.
For the lay visitor its a great addition to your library but do not consider it your answer to a good ornithological treatment nor field guide to the region.

Summary: Birds of the Texas Hill Country
Review: Birds of the Texas Hill Country is not a field guide and anyone reading the description of the book should realize that. It is a status and distribution work that covers all of the birds recorded from the Edwards Plateau region of Texas. It was a lengthy introduction that is excellent. My favorite part is the section about early ornithological investigations. Anyone truly interested in the avifauna of this region will want a copy of this book.

Rating:
Summary: excellent refrence
Review: This is an excellent reference for Hill Country birds. The authors obviously is well versed in the avifauna of the region. A must-have for anyone interested in Texas bird life.
