Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

The May issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine is for 
the birds. Managing editor Charles Lohrmann explains.

May is our birding issue because it's the tail end of the spring 
migration, when all the neo-tropical migrants are moving 
through Texas, on their way back north to their summer 
homes. So, we have a significant calendar of events of all the 
activities around the state, and the opportunities people will 
have to get outdoors and see some birds seasonally. But we 
also have a couple of interesting articles - one on the Red-
cockaded woodpecker, which is an endangered bird that is 
often overlooked. And we also have a story on the impact of 
wind farms on bird migration, which is something that has 
not been studied, and may have a significant affect on those 
migrating birds. :40

The May issue of the magazine will be on newsstands 
later in the month.
