After years of working with landowners, land managers, naturalists,
county officials, and others about wildlife management and land
stewardship for birds in the Texas Hill Country, biologist Rufus
Stephens and educator Jan Wrede teamed up to write a practical
guidebook on how to improve habitat for birds on both small and
large properties throughout the Hill Country. Because each bird
species has specific needs for cover, food, water, nesting, and
rearing their young, the book is organized by Hill Country habitat
types: wooded slopes and savannahs; grasslands; rivers and creeks;
canyons, seeps, and springs; tanks and ponds; plus residential
backyards. Each chapter contains an in-depth discussion of common
problems and possible solutions for developing optimum habitat. Th
e book showcases 107 species in their habitats with color
photographs and a short descriptive account of how to know the bird
and care for its habitat. Three additional chapters on predator
control, deer management, and cedar management off er detailed
information on these special issues that impact the presence of
birds throughout the region. As a comprehensive guide to habitat
assessment, identification of birds and the habitats they use, plus
stewardship practices that will benefit these birds, Attracting
Birds in the Texas Hill Country offers landowners the ideal “how
to manual” for writing an effective Wildlife Tax Valuation plan.
By helping readers recognize and evaluate habitat health and then
use appropriate habitat enhancement practices, the authors hope to
inspire and enable widespread and effective bird conservation in
the Texas Hill Country. And as bird populations flourish, so do the
populations of other wildlife.
