Range Map Key
Range maps found under each species are based on map graphics from the TOS Handbook of Texas Birds (2014).
The species accounts in the TOS Handbook are more specific and the maps more detailed. The hard copy reference book is recommended for a clear understanding of the status and distribution of Texas birds.
Below is a key to understanding the range maps on this site. Maps indicate the typical range of each species in Texas.
