Description
The wooded waterways of the plains of the eastern Panhandle attract such eastern nesting species as the Red-headed Woodpecker and Carolina Chickadee. The gently rolling terrain of the High Plains and its scattered rainwater lakes, or playas, provide a winter habitat for numerous migrating waterfowl. Canyons etched deeply into the in a different way flat terrain create sheltered places where such western birds as the Western Scrub-Jay and Bushtit thrive and breed.
For each and every of the more than four hundred species found on this region, creator Kenneth D. Seyffert provides information at the bird’s status, occurrence, and nesting habits. Ten elegant line drawings also accompany the text.
Birds of the Texas Panhandle is a will have to for those already conversant in the avifauna of the Panhandle and an eyeopener for those skeptical of the abundance of bird life in the region. Residents fo the Panhandle will find this a handy reference to places where they may be able to view their winged neighbors.
