Texas is a very popular state for bird watching. The wide variety of geography and climates lends itself to an enormous range of aviary species that change per season. Bird watchers, or birders as they are often called, can easily find somewhere near and far to observe. But birders are made, not born. Begin the introduction early on with a new children’s book, “A House for Wren” by Julie Beever, a delightful starter to the wonder of our feathered friends.
