1.8.2017\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Couple produces readable, colorful book on Texas birds<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span>Author\/professor Gary Clark has teamed up with his wife,<\/span> photographer Kathy Clark, to produce the very readable and colorful Book of Texas Birds<\/span><\/a><\/span> (Texas A&M University Press, $39.95 flexbound). The 512-page book is thorough, fun to read, and richly illustrated with hundreds of color photos.<\/p>\n

Clark said he set out to write the book as \u201ca personal account of Texas birds,\u201d with the first draft being basically off the top of his head. (Technical corrections and additions based on source material would come later.) And that\u2019s how it reads, written informally and conversationally, like a friend telling another friend about the interesting birds he has observed, with a color picture of each one.<\/p>\n
