Feather Bender's Advanced Flytying Techniques
About this book
Included are over 700 color photographs, depicting the different species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish, while offering over 600 range maps to show their territory, along with basic information for the biology of each animal, Texas's wildlife has always played an important role in the history of human beings inhabiting the state.Although the state's wildlife is still an important resource for human consumption, wildlife is also increasingly important in today's culture for its intrinsic, aesthetic value. For many Texans, the age-old traditions of hunting and fishing have been replaced by a desire to simply observe wildlife and experience nature. But most Texans are largely unaware of the diversity of species inhabiting their state. This volume is intended to provide an introduction to the state's freshwater fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. In Texas Wildlife Encyclopedia, nationally known naturalist Scott Shupe has collected information on all the native wildlife that reside in the Lone Star State. The seventh in a series of state wildlife encyclopedias, this book will be a handy, usable, layman's guide to Texas's native wildlife. Shupe includes the size, habitat, and abundance of each species located in the state. Whether you're a lover of the outdoors, photography, or are looking to learn more about your state, this comprehensive guide will teach you about the wonderful wildlife that covers the water, earth, and skies of Texas.
