The Golden Crescent of South Texas, a fifteen-county region along
and inland from the middle Gulf Coast, is often called "the
Crossroads" because of its natural diversity. Located in the heart
of the Gulf Coast Prairie and Marshes, the area also encompasses
the trailing edges of the South Texas Plains, Post Oak Savannah,
and Blackland Prairie. This confluence of ecological zones makes it
a wonderful place for birding and for observing the changing face
of nature, especially during seasonal transitions.
In this book, Ro Wauer describes a typical year in the natural
life of South Texas. Using selected entries from his weekly column
in the Victoria Advocate newspaper, he discusses numerous topics
for each month, from the first appearance of butterflies in
January, to alligators making a comeback in July, to the Christmas
bird count in December. His observations are filled with intriguing
natural history lore, from what sounds mockingbirds will imitate
(almost any noise in their neighborhood) to how armadillos swim (by
inflating themselves to increase their buoyancy).
