Description: Jim Hughes's site with a county bird checklist and information about where to bird in the county.
Birds of McCulloch County, Texas, Texas Bird Checklist, Texas Birding BIRDS OF MCCULLOCH COUNTY, TEXAS In June of 2001, just a few months after I took up birding, my wife, Jan, and I purchased the 341 acre Nichols Ranch, bordered by one and one-third miles of the San Saba River, in McCulloch County, Texas. After visiting with experienced Texas birders and following the posts on a popular Texas birding listserve, it became clear that McCulloch County is a "black hole" in the birding world. I have not met another birder in the county, and, other than mine, I have never seen a post on the listserve for the county. My hope in creating this web site is to inform the birding public of what birds may be seen here. While this county will never be a birding "hotspot", it does present opportunities because it is in a transitional area. For instance, on our ranch we have single sightings of Brown-crested Flycatcher, Ringed Kingfisher and a pair of Varied Buntings. We have seen or heard over 160 species at the ranch, and given our inexperience and our limited time in the field, I know there are many more to be discovered.
