HILL COUNTRY SPECIALTIES
Truly there are only 2 species for which the hill country is
the only/best place to see them easily in numbers and they are
not shown here, the Golden-cheeked Warbler (which has its own page)
and the Black-capped Vireo (which I don't have a good picture of yet).
Otherwise, here are some of the birds that most visitors have
on their "want lists". Though for most the hill country is only
a small part of their range, they are not truly specialties
in the strict sense. It is a great place to see them because
they are generally numerous and widespread. To locals they are
regulars, but most visitors can't get enough of them.
