The Trans-Pecos, that region of Texas west of the Pecos River, is richer in recorded bird species than all but three of the U.S. This is the first comprehensive birding guide devoted to the entire region. Designed for intermediate to advanced birders, it provides an annotated checklist of all 482 species found in the Trans-Pecos. The species accounts include seasonal distribution, documentation of nesting, most likely habitat, and the bird's status as a "Texas Review Species." The authors also describe the geography and bird habitats of the Trans-Pecos; federal and state parklands in the area, with the species that occur in each; and the mountain-breeding birds and species of special interest. Drawings and full-color photos.
