"The moist, sultry northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico hosts a remarkably diverse bird community of more than three hundred species. Waders and seabirds, waterfowl, nightjars and owls, hummingbirds, thrushes and mimic thrushes, warblers, grosbeaks, tanagers, larks, blackbirds, sparrows, and finches all thrive in the various ecosystems of the Gulf Coast and swirl in and out with the seasons. Featuring 175 color photographs by nature photographer Brian K. Miller and essays by natural history columnist and lecturer William R. Fontenot, Birds of the Gulf Coast depicts the mystery and majesty of these beautiful creatures and highlights the importance of the region to the birds' conservation." "Together with Fontenot's essays, these photographs convey the luxuriant abundance that characterizes bird life of the Gulf Coast. This is a book that will inspire seasoned birders and novices alike to explore the region's woodlands, marshes, and beaches and discover for themselves the avian riches that await."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book discusses all the birds which may be seen from the Florida Keys to South Texas, including coastal Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Additionally, there are short chapters on habitats, safety in the field, the best places to birdwatch and the fabulous spring and fall bird migrations. It is conveniently divided into water birds and land birds, plus special short chapters on the birds of South Florida and South Texas. Each species is fully treated, with color photographs taken by Jim Stevenson, demonstrating various plumages at all ages, both sexes and seasons. The range of the species is verbally explained, as is its description, plus unique behaviors, voice and similar species. In addition, groups such as families and orders are described to give the reader an understanding of classification. Jim Stevenson has been birding the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas for over sixty years. His master's work dealt with bird migration, and having been raised by an ornithologist, he got an early start. He has been writing and leading birding tours as the Director of the Galveston Ornithological Society for twenty-five years. Jim resides in a small forest on Galveston Island, Texas, which now has a yard list of 322, the highest in the history of North America.
