I strongly recommend this very good book to any naturalists of CetnTex!!!
Concise, pointed, easy read and just enough of the subject to bolster your cocktail party repartee’!!! We are reading it outloud to each other.
It’s the heir to the classic “Adventures with a Texas Naturalist” by Roy Bedichek
Thanks to Kitty Coley for the recommendation!!
I wanted to emphasize Allan’s post of yesterday on a new book by Bert Frenz Birds of the Central Oaks and Prairies of Texas with Emphasis on Historical Changes. Some of you may have heard Bert’s talk at TOS meeting in College Station a few years ago. I found it fascinating!!!! Here’s why (from another quote…
Here’s a little jewel!!! Lance and I got them just in time for Empids class. By Cin-Ty Lee and Andrew Birch I’ve not had time to review it thoroughly, but the simplicity of presentation and Andrew Birch’s beautiful paintings already impress me!!
“The new phone book’s here!!! The new phone book’s here!!!” (10 points if you get the quote without a reference)
Another great effort by Lee & Birch!!! Concise, pointed, and beautifully illustrated!!!
I enjoyed Cin Ty Lee’s presentation on Empids at TOS!! He’s got some good material on his website: http://www.cintylee.org/#/guiding-services/ I also notice that Butter Butt’s are scarfing down crushed pecans in the street in several locations.
Oh happy days!!! It’s time to pre-order “The Gull Guide” by gull aficionado Amar Ayash!!! I got mine coming in late October just in time for “I Don’t Do Gulls Gulls Class”!!! Pretty sure ya’ll don’t have enough bird books!!!
