List Of Birds Of Texas
The Accepted Texas Species List is maintained by the Texas Birds Record Committee (TBRC) of the Texas Ornithological Society. This list was last updated June, 2012. The Texas Accepted Species List is the largest state list in the lower 48 states, mostly due to the convergence of flyways over the state during migration seasons.
Birds in bold are considered to be Texas Review Species. These species have been seen in Texas in the past, but are rare and do not make an appearance every year. Some Texas Review Species have been seen only once on record. The TBRC requests that if anyone sees any of these review species in Texas, that they provide them with detailed documentation immediately. An (I) indicates that the species was introduced into Texas, an (E) means that the bird has become extinct since it was added to the list, and (e) (lowercase) means that the bird has been extirpated (not extinct but no longer found in Texas), and (u) means the bird has an uncertain origin (introduced or native).

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, birds and/or texas:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Lastly, his tomb
Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang “Tilly-loo!”
Till away they flew—
And they never came back to me!”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“The pleasure of jogging and running is rather like that of wearing a fur coat in Texas in August: the true joy comes in being able to take the damn thing off.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
