Purchase options and add-ons

Finding all the birds in Texas can be a lifetime pursuit. Basic Texas Birds, an easy-to-use field guide, will help you identify over 180 species of birds that are found across the state, including a selection of the rarer "Texas specialties" that draw birders to Texas from around the world. These are the birds that form the basis of a birder's life list for Texas.

Basic Texas Birds is organized by bird families to aid in identifying any bird you see in the wild. It is loaded with resources, including:

200 full-color, close-up photos of the birds
State-of-the-art range maps―the most accurate of any currently available―that show each species' distribution within the state
Up-to-date species accounts that provide a wealth of current and historical information, including each bird's appearance, habitat, status, and distribution, and that also identify similar species
A glossary of terms used in bird identification
A list of selected readings for learning more about birds found in Texas
The Texas Ornithological Society's list of birds documented in Texas

Much more convenient for identifying common birds than a comprehensive state or national field guide, Basic Texas Birds is a must-have resource for both beginning and experienced birders.

Great Guide for New Birders!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great field guide. My family has recently gotten into birding, and we were looking for a more in-depth guide that isn't overwhelming. This one fit the bill, and we have enjoyed using it to identify different birds we see here in North Texas.

A Very Good, Ready Reference

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2008

My wife and I use this book as a ready reference for identifying birds that visit our back yard. I am always pleased (and somewhat amazed) at the number of searches that have produced successful results. We suggest and recommend that this guide be kept in a quickly accessable location, providing useful and entertaining information when you need it.

I purchased this for a friend who loves birds and did not have a book identifying local birds. She was delighted to receive it and said she was familiar with this book and it was a wonderful reference to look up birds.

Handy Size and Easy Reference

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2007

I spent about a week with this book and liked the following things about the book. The size and the durable pages and covers make it a good travel companion. I live in Texas and the book covers most common Texas birds but not all of the birds that one may encounter here. Most of the photographs are fine and make it easy to appreciate and identify a particular bird. But some photos suffer from dark areas and not necessarily a clear depiction of the bird. Only one photo is typical per bird with description, but no photo of juvenile stage, mating vs non mating season plumage and so forth. The bird territories and flight path maps are very good with a nice focus on Texas. Instead of choosing this book to buy now, I decided to order another bird book, namely "Smithsonian Handbooks: Birds Of Texas". The latter book is larger, but has many more birds and more scientific and detailed information that I enjoy having at hand including flight pattern, songs, similar birds, and more. Still, there is something about the ease of use of Basic Texas Birds: A Field Guide that makes me feel it s a better travel companion than the Smithsonian Handbook. Maybe I'll have to own both books eventually.
