Birds of the Texas Coastal Bend: Abundance and Distribution

Very Good hardcover in a Good dust jacket. Slight discoloration to ffp.  Previous owner's blind stamp on title page, and ink stamps on end pages. DJ has shelf wear and small chips to top edge.  One larger tear on back cover.

This guide summarizes the abundance and distribution of every avian species recorded for the region.  Additional chapters provide detailed information on habitats, complemented by a map and color plates; a checklist of the birds sighted in the area; and a discussion of conservation needs of the region and migration patterns.  Especially useful is a chapter listing localities where the Coastal Bend habitats can be found and giving directions to them.  Specimen documentation of locally rare birds, a bibliography, and an index add to the book's usefulness.
