Roy Bedichek (1878–1959) was a naturalist and folklorist.

A Texan wholly devoted to his native Southwest, he was regional but not provincial.... Roy Bedichek was a true scientist, with a luminous curiosity more like the ancient Greeks' than today's. (Audubon) . . Texas cannot really be known without reading Adventures with a Texas Naturalist. - A. C. Greene (The 50 Best Books on Texas) Whether studying the effects of grazing goats on roadside wildflowers or reveling in the fiery beauty of a vermilion flycatcher, Bedichek writes with a marvelous style that begs quotation at every turn. - John and Gloria Tveten (Houston Chronicle) A book that should be required reading in high school or college, one that ought to be in every deer camp or in every biker's pack. It is a thoughtful book but also pleasant to the senses. It is a book that can be read once and then delved into again some other time, as enduring as nature itself. (Austin American-Statesman)
