Very Good paperback.  Previous owner's blind stamp on title page. 

From the Piney Woods of eastern Texas to the Rio Grande Valley bordering Mexico (a distance of more than 400 miles), the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail links 300-plus sites and offers birdwatchers access to such avian spectacles as Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, Black-chinned Hummingbirds, Whooping Cranes, Painted Buntings, and Roseate Spoonbills, as well as countless migrating songbirds, raptors, and waterbirds.

Expert birder Mel White profiles about one hundred of the best sites along the trail, chosen for diversity of habitat species, seasonality, and accessibility. Locations range from national wildlife refuges to small city parks to stretches of isolated road passing through avian habitat. You will find: advice about when and how to bird the location, driving directions and contact information including websites, listings of notable species to look for, nearby museums, nature centers, and festivals.

 Whether you are a dedicated birder or simply wish to visit nature sites along the Texas coast, this is an excellent guide.
