Florida's unique habitats -- from northern hardwoods to pine flatwoods to tropical hammocks -- 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 sick and injured birds.

Learn about the "Florida specialties", those birds found nowhere else in North America except Florida: Great White Heron, Wood Stork, Antillean Nighthawk, Burrowing Owl, Limpkin, Mangrove Cuckoo, Snail Kite, and Roseate Spoonbill.
