DESCRIPTION:
Others will tell you that the great birds are the most beautiful ones. In all, forty-eight writers, one to a bird, are included here.These beautifully detailed paintings and the observations that accompany them make a convincing case that these are, indeed, the great Texas birds. The authors have also gathered a flock of well-known Texas birders and nature writers to offer personal, scientific, or literary observations about each bird. Whether you're a serious birder or simply a backyard bird watcher, you'll find in this book a "lovely edifice" where people who care about birds can be together.. But most people know that the great birds are simply the ones we like the best, rare or common-the ones that have imprinted themselves indelibly on our lives.This beautiful book presents exquisite paintings of forty-eight Texas birds chosen by John O'Neill and Suzanne Winckler as their own personal "greats." Some of the birds are as common as they are beloved. What makes any bird a "great" bird? For some birders, it's the rarity of a species that they've finally added to their life list after
Is there a state with a more marvelous array of birds than Texas? I can’t think of one. (Ed Kanze Bird Watcher’s Digest 2001-01-00) . John P. O’Neill’s paintings, showcased handsomely in this book, present a selection of Texas’s finest in glorious color and detail
Kathy Adams Clark said Great Gift Book. This book is beautifully illustrated, designed and written. It is a perfect book for anyone who likes birds and an equally perfect book for those who love beautiful things. The latter might find that they love birds after reading the book. Overall, a very well done book.. i like it somewhat! John P.O Neill i remember him for has watercolor the most! Other than that, its pretty good, the text is short and sweet!
