This is a wonderful book. Bedichek's account of Texas wildlife is fascinating and informative. It talks a lot about birds. The author does a great job of describing bird behavior, migration, environmental issues and man's impact on bird life. Even more interesting are discussions of how we hear and identify birdsongs and how commonly accepted misnomers of birds reflect our misunderstanding of them. He also debunks many popular myths about birds. Some of the information in this book is out of date, and some of Bedichek's environmental predictions turned out to be incorrect, but it is both amusing and interesting to see a naturalist's outlook from the '30s.

Not just for naturalists
This book is one of the most interesting and helpful books I have read. Although the contents brought to my mind many childhood memories, since I was born and reared in the same land and manner, to an extent, of the book, I learned much about many different aspects and parts of nature. I am a naturalist and though it is written from that perspective, I think anyone, country, city or whatever location person would find much in the book of valuable interest and help. The author is an excellent writer and thinker.
