Program Description
Details
The charming Florida Scrub Jay - Florida’s only endemic bird - is in real danger of extinction. Numbers of these social, highly specialized birds have plummeted due to habitat destruction and urban sprawl. Is it possible to turn this around?
Join Florida Master Naturalist and member of the Venice Area Audubon Society, Kate Borduas, as she explores how things got to be so bad so fast and what is being done to help the surviving FSJ populations. Learn what YOU can do to help save what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has called a “Species of the Century.”
