Texas Bird List - an important reference

Although we already have a guidebook on Texas birds, this electronic list is a useful reference.

Texas Bird List

According to our friend Tom, there are approximately 700 birds on the United States bird list. About 600 of these are on the Texas bird list, and the local Audubon society says that about 400 can be seen in the immediate vicinity of Austin. (Bird counts are especially high during the migration seasons.)

This electronic list is subject to constant revision and update, especially important in this time of climate change.
