ID Guide to East Texas Birds
East Texas is truly a birder’s paradise, filled with an incredible variety of stunning birds. Some call this place home year-round, while others grace us with their presence during migration, giving us a fleeting but breathtaking glimpse before continuing their journey.
I’ve had the absolute joy of capturing thousands of photos of these amazing creatures, and now they’re being put to good use—to help you identify and appreciate each species! (And yes, with just a few exceptions, every photo you see is one I’ve personally taken.)
This flip-style format works like fun flashcards, making bird identification an exciting game rather than a challenge. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been birding for years, this tool makes learning both easy and enjoyable!
And the best part? This is just the beginning! I’ll keep adding more species to make this as complete as possible. So grab your binoculars, get ready to flip through, and let’s have some fun learning these birds together!
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS – WE WILL ALWAYS BE ADDING TO IT AS WE HAVE MORE PHOTOS – AT SOME POINT WE WILL ADDRESS ADDING FEMALES AS WELL AS OTHER PHOTOS. STAY TUNED.

You’re awesome. Keep up the good work
You are the one who is awesome. For a young person, you are an outstanding birder who is extremely knowledgeable and definitely knows his birds. When you add another fact to that, your abilities are nothing short of astounding – that fact being you are only ten years old and yet can hold your own in the field, IDing birds right alongside very experienced birders. All of us who know you and your abilities are impressed.
Now, please forget all that, true though it is, but I don’t want it to go to your head. 🙂
