Texas Wildlife Viewing Guide (Wildlife Viewing Guides Series)

Wildlife is nearer than you think. The secret is knowing where and when to look. From Palo Duro State Park and its abundance of western wildlife, to internationally-renowned Arkansas National Wildlife Refuge where dolphins and endangered whooping cranes thrill thousands of visitors each year, the Texas Wildlife Viewing Guide will lead you to 142 premier wildlife viewing locations and will better your chances of seeing wildlife once you get there. Included are detailed descriptions of each viewing site, maps and access information, helpful viewing tips, and ninety color photographs featuring the wildlife and scenic natural areas of this incredibly diverse state.
