Fowl River is a river in the state of [Alabama] . The river was named in the 17th century by the French the River of Birds. In the decades and centuries that have past we have transposed that to the "Fowl River". Named because of the large flocks of migrating water fowl that came through the area to feed and fatten on the abundant marine life which inhabit the river. The marine life exists in such an abundance because the "Fowl River" is part of the Mobile Bay Estuary, and an Estuary is where marine life is born.
