I was birding at Pea Island, NC in November, 2023. A flock of (well known locally) flamingoes that arrived that summer were still there.

Very good lecture. Good science, good history, good policy.

He s right we have to save the spoon bills

One week beby ko kya khilaye plzzz

Wow! Just an amazing video ! I learned so much and can’t wait to visit! W Jeff Willis jr

I read " Death in the Everglades" (The Murder of Guy Bradley) by Stewert B McIver. I was sitting in the doctors office when I was reading about plume hunters going after the flamingos. I started crying and the doctor was so concerned about me crying. When I told them why I was crying they thought I was crazy. I cried through that whole book.

Spotting the rare elusive native flamboyance is on my bucket list.

Audubon had nine enslaved people working in his household and businesses in the 1810s; he later sold them when he needed cash. In early 1819, he took two enslaved men with him down the Mississippi to New Orleans on a skiff, and when he got there, he put the boat and the men up for sale.Mar 24, 2023

There were some Flamingos in Wisconsin last month .I live in Michigan. The birds were spotted on one of the Beaches there.The wind from the hurricane got them off track and the ended up there people were crowded around the beach to see them The Great lakes look like Oceans so I assume they were tired and looking for food.The Nature Center said they could probably stay as long as they had enough food .There are minnows theres small shell fish claims and snails.I hope there is enough for them???

So high inflow but low outflow, improve the outflow to the south problem ( algae)solved.

Give'em space.

I saw a flamingo in a pond at the Florida turnpike north entrance in Saint Cloud Florida in early August 2023. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

I remember seeing a flock of about a dozen flamingos in Lake Inghram inside Cape Sable on Easter morning around 1958.

There are Scrub Jays in California to and they look almost identical to Florida Scrub Jays. I don't know about their habits. They love salt-free peanuts.

I am a Native Floridian. Thanks for this informational video. I am sharing with my fellow Floridians. Gratitude!

We were at the sanctuary only a few days ago and I wish we'd seen one Beautiful animal

Thank you for this content. I am a member of Audubon National.

Thank you for this. I think the “why” of bird banding is often lost behind the flashy achievements of species numbers and the human pleasure of handling birds. The stories are so important.

"promo sm" 😣

One flies over my house now, noticed this week.

If you want to live in a middle of nowhere, build a house on stilt in the middle of lake Okeechobee. Lake very shallow and have lots of fish. Nobody to bother you.

is it possible to add photos to submitted observations

Amazing video! I recently moved to Miami and I’m planning to go there soon and this video makes me even more excited to go

They are in south Louisiana bayous

Great presentation- thank you for sharing it!

I wanna go there:O

Thank you for all your great efforts! Much to celebrate! I would love to know what conservation work is being done for our Florida Scrub Jays. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I wish someone would introduce them to Santa Rosa Beach.

Just seen like 30 of them in Orlando Florida. 5/10/22

Love them. Thanks for the footage!

nice video..massive lake

At first I thought there was a mic by Audrey's right ear, then I saw it was a jay on a limb! Cool! Fascinating information and I took a lot of notes.

I love this talk and share it with so many of my architecture colleagues as reasons to have an ecologist, biologist, etc. on the design team for every project.

I just saw my 1st. Roseate Spoonbill behind my house along the canal .Lovely,inWPBeach Fl.

Rooftop solar seems like a good use with no impact on the environment. But these solar farms take up vast areas and convert to a mono-environment.The video remarked several times about the quiet. That is because there are no animals or insects around. The ground looks manicured to short grass. No trees , bushes etc. No place for forest or even bushland animals or plants. The panels provide a lot of shade which is only going to encourage a limited diversity of environment. While I do support solar energy, I think the environmental impact of large solar farms has not been considered. I expect Audubon to take a much more impact on the total environment view than the narrow - no impact view, presented here.

Great talk; thank you. Any update regarding conservation efforts of this bird? Development continues to run rampant in our state and as a result, it's my understanding that we are losing other species (flora, too, like golden aster). Is there a way to cross breed it with the western Scrub Jay (kind of like how panther biologists have been doing with other pumas?). I so wish the Florida Scrub Jay was our state bird.

Thank you

So I have two questions. What happens when the sun doesn’t shine for those 800,000 homes that rely on solar generated power? The other question is that you did not mention anything about the cost to the environment about building solar panels with rare earth metals. Everything needs to be taken into account when deciding if something is good or not.

Nice promotion of solar energy. Let's hope the energy companies and dysfunctional Florida state legislature don't eliminate or mess with our homeowner's net metering. I have 54 solar PV panels on my roof and wish more homeowners would do the same but the energy companies are trying to mess with our incentives to go solar.

So very well deserved, congratulations.

Congratulations Reed!

Congratulations Reed!!

Most Florida bird ever

As a Park Ranger in North Florida I’ve seen an increase in bowls of RS

I REMEMBER SEEING ONE OF THESE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAMINGO LMAOOOOO
