From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Baldwin County OfficeThe Alabama beach mouse (ABM) is one of several subspecies of old field mice living only in coastal sand dune areas. The range of the Alabama beach mouse historically extended from Ono Island to Fort Morgan and included much of the Fort Morgan Peninsula on the Alabama Gulf coast.
These small light-colored mice burrow and excavate nests in dunes and are primarily active at night. Their diet consists of various plant seeds and insects. They prefer sand-covered slopes with patches of sea oats, beach grass, other grasses and herbs, as well as interior sand dune ridges.
