Publisher's Synopsis
Matt Zeigler's Wild Alabama: Winter Haven, takes a spectacular journey into the winter habitat of birds in central Alabama during the winter of 2010-2011. Through the use of 95 full-color images Zeigler presents the American Robin, Northern Mockingbird, Song Sparrow and other native/migrant species in their winter territory. When a rare snowstorm dumps three inches of snow on a normally ideal landscape, the robin proves to be the most adept at survival in icy conditions. In addition to examining habitat, feeding habits, social skills and security awareness of the local bird population, Zeigler reveals little-known facts about how robins maintain their energy and hydrate during extreme weather.
