Heralds of Spring in Texas (Louise Lindsey Merrick Natural Environment Series)

Rating:
Summary: Spring comes to Texas from the Valley to the Panhandle
Review: Wonderfully delightful book about spring in the Lone Star state. The 50 chapters discuss indicators of spring from a personal perspective by the author and numerous friends and colleagues, from naturalists to housewives, and from the Rio Grande Valley to the northern plains, including the first dueting of chachalacas in the Valley; greening mesquites; returning vultures in the Big Bend; night skies and black-hawks in the Davis Mts.; butterflies and violets in the pineywoods; mt.laurel, anemones, Texas bluebonnets, and golden-cheeked warblers in the Hill Country; to singing meadowlarks on the northern plains. This book is truly a fresh view of spring, and filled with neat stuff about nature in Texas. Well worth the read!
