Description

After years of working with landowners, land managers, naturalists, county officials, and others about Flora and fauna management and land stewardship for birds in the Texas Hill Country, biologist Rufus Stephens and educator Jan Wrede teamed up to write a practical guidebook on how to beef up habitat for birds on both small and large properties right through the Hill Country.

Because Each and every bird species has specific needs for cover, food, water, nesting, and rearing their young, the book is organized by Hill Country habitat types: wooded slopes and savannahs; grasslands; rivers and creeks; canyons, seeps, and springs; tanks and ponds; plus residential backyards. Each and every chapter comprises an in-depth discussion of common problems and conceivable solutions for developing optimum habitat. The book showcases 107 species in their habitats with color photographs and a short descriptive account of how to know the bird and deal with its habitat. Three additional chapters on predator keep watch over, deer management, and cedar management offer detailed information on these special issues that affect the presence of birds right through the region.

As a comprehensive guide to habitat assessment, identification of birds and the habitats they use, plus stewardship practices on the way to benefit these birds, Attracting Birds in the Texas Hill Country offers landowners the ideal “how to manual” for writing an effective Flora and fauna Tax Valuation plan.

By helping readers recognize and evaluate habitat health and then use appropriate habitat enhancement practices, the authors hope to inspire and enable widespread and effective bird conservation in the Texas Hill Country. And as bird populations flourish, so do the populations of other Flora and fauna.
