State guide

Texas Nature Guide

Texas spans more ecological ground than any other state — from the Chihuahuan desert and Hill Country limestone to the Blackland Prairie, Piney Woods, and the Gulf coast. That range is why Texas has recorded more bird species than any other state and why its nature calendar is unusually long: something is arriving, blooming, or migrating in almost every week of the year.
