(This generous chronicle begins with the whooping cranes at Aransas, describes a wild tukey dance, visits a cave with a million bats, explores the strange cactus forest of Dagger Flat and watches colonies of prairie dogs and nutrias at work and plan. And everywhere through the pages echo the calls of birds and the whir of wings - egrets, herons, terns, white pelicans and vermilion flycatchers, yellow-headed blackbirds and mountain bluebirds, canyon wrens and roadrunners - hundreds of species and thousands of individuals in the paradise of birds. With 48 pages of photographs you'll be able to watch the wildlife and enjoy seeing how the author and photographer spent their springtime with birds and other wildlife of Texas.)
