Book reading: Hill Country Birds and Waters

Hill Country Birds and Waters is a collaborative collection of art and poetry that celebrates the beauty of the birds that make their home between Austin and San Antonio. Jim Blackburn’s heartfelt poems praising cedar waxwing, tufted titmouse, red-tailed hawk, green heron, golden-cheeked warbler, hepatic tanager, and other species—32 birds in all—are superbly paired with Isabelle Scurry Chapman’s tenderly rendered bird paintings. A paean to the peace of the Hill Country and the grace of its wildlife, this book also warns readers and calls out modern threats to spring-fed waterways and the birds that depend on them.
