Exploring Nature: Twelve Birds

What are the 12 birds that every Texan should be able to identify?

Well, considering our state is so blessed with avian riches, having some 640 different species, it’s hard to make a choice.

For my own part, the three birds I see most frequently at my backyard feeders are Carolina wren, black-crested titmouse and northern cardinal. They are yearround residents and almost like part of my family.
