I wanted to write a guide book to make it easy for people to find great birding places in Texas. It was important to me to find locations that were easy to get around for people with limited mobility or little kids. Each of the 90 birding locations allows people easy access to rich experiences in nature that don't require intense hiking to some remote location. Nature is nearby and birds are the wildlife that surround us all the time. I hope you will use this book to find new places or revisit somewhere you haven't been in a long time. Either way, pick up a copy and plan your next birding adventure.
