A work conference is putting me on Galveston Island, TX in mid-April - could
be worse! I'm considering which books to invest in, and looking on Amazon,
I'm debating:



Finding Birds on the Great Texas Birding Trail: Houston, Galveston and Upper
Texas, by Ted L Eubanks Jr

Exploring the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, by Mel White (Falcon Guide)

Birdlife of Houston, Galveston and the Upper Texas Coast, by Ted L Eubanks
Jr

Birding Texas, by Roland H Wauer (Falcon Guide)



If anyone has experience using these books, particularly in the Galveston
Island area, I would appreciate your comments. Of course, if you know of
better books, I'd love to hear that too. I will be hiring a car, but I'm not
looking to drive more than about 90 minutes from Galveston Island to bird,
so if anyone has recommendations for good bird spots in that radius, please
fill me in!
