Description
"Florida's Birds is for anyone who wants to identify the state's rich and varied bird life. More than 325 species are included-all the commonly seen birds, both residents and migrants, as well as some exotic and rare birds. New softcover edition provides updated information including websites and contact information for agencies and organizations that deal with birds. (Hardcover available in previous printing.) Florida's unique habitats are described and illustrated with color photographs. Each species account notes the habitats, distinguishing marks, behavior, food, and breeding habits. A calendar grid for each bird notes what months it is in the state as well as when it is likely to be breeding here. Wide in scope and comprehensive in coverage, this handbook also covers exotic species, endangered species, conservation, bird study, attracting and feeding birds, and caring for injured birds."
