To help enhance your feeding station, we've created this portable reference, which features beautifully illustrated profiles of 40 familiar feeder birds of Texas, each annotated with notes on species' habitats and behaviors. Also included is an overview of feeder types and recommended foods for attracting each species. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and homeowners who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge deeper connections with the Texas birds that readily seek bird feeders.
