Summer in Florida: Chicks on the beaches, the start of regular rain in places like Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, and the end of a very busy baby raptor season at the Center for Birds of Prey. Here at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, we never have a slow season. In fact, we're currently wrapping up a study of Tricolored Herons, analyzing the recent legislative session (page 5), planning the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Florida Assembly in October, and so much more.
One of the things that I love about the team at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Florida is that they’re always drawing inspiration and experience from the past to protect birds and the places they need today. If you’re in Northeast Florida or Central Florida between July and December this year, check out our 125-year retrospective exhibit at the Jacksonville airport and the Lyonia Environmental Center to be re-inspired by our long history of conservation success.
Birds are our superpower. Their beauty, songs, and personalities capture the imagination of people around the world; their heroic migrations help us see the connections between distant habitats. Despite the hot weather, I hope you see wonderful birds this summer. Thank you for your support of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Florida.
