Roseate Spoonbills and Mangrove Cuckoo add a tropical flavour to its rich avifauna; woodland and scrub specialities include Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Florida Scrub-jay, while birds such as Snail Kites soaring over marshes and Snowy Plovers on the mudflats are high on any birder's wish-list. Vast numbers of migrants such as warblers, vireos, and flycatchers passing through each fall and spring add to the spectacle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book by biologist and wildlife photographer Kirsten Hines will help you identify more than 300 of Florida's regularly occurring species, including breeding birds, those on passage, and those wintering.
