Summary: General book on birds of the Hill Country of Texas
Comment: As has been said before this book is not a field guide but nor is it a book of science either as Lockwood does not review the literature nor provide any details as to why so and so a species is considered common, uncommon etc.
For the lay visitor its a great addition to your library but do not consider it your answer to a good ornithological treatment nor field guide to the region.

Summary: Birds of the Texas Hill Country
Comment: Birds of the Texas Hill Country is not a field guide and anyone reading the description of the book should realize that. It is a status and distribution work that covers all of the birds recorded from the Edwards Plateau region of Texas. It was a lengthy introduction that is excellent. My favorite part is the section about early ornithological investigations. Anyone truly interested in the avifauna of this region will want a copy of this book.

Summary: Birds of the Texas Hill Country
Comment: This book is not a field guide and anyone who read the description of it would know that before purchasing it. What it does cover is the status and distribution of birds on the Edwards Plateau. It is the only book that covers this topic and it is clear that the author is very familiar with the area. The introduction is fairly lengthy and is a real bonus for a book of this type. Anyone wanting to learn more about the avifauna of this region will want a copy of this book.
