It’s always the Burrowing Owl 🤷‍♀️

In the early Spring of 2020, as a virus swept the globe, people moved indoors and DeSantis closed the beaches, a tiny seabird began its long migration north. Finally reaching the shores of Deerfield Beach, they found a peaceful, empty, quiet stretch of sand (guarded by police none the less) and set up camp! This once in a lifetime event produced the most successful least tern nesting colony ever in Deerfield Beach and one of the most successful in the state that year.

This is the story of the stewards, the residents, the commissioner, the city and the brave little birds who made this possible.

When two nonprofits dedicated to wildlife and environmental conservation work together 🤝 marvelous things happen!
Our Pelican Harbor Seabird Station x Tropical Audubon Society birdwatching cruise was amazing: like-minded bird lovers and conservation enthusiasts came together for a beautiful evening on Miami’s waters, spotting birds in their natural habitat. Stay tuned, we’ll do it again! 🐦🌅

We’ll get him ready for the wild!

A single discarded hook or a few feet of tangled line can cost a bird its ability to fly, fish, or survive. For seabirds this kind of debris is one of the most common and preventable threats they face.

You can help: use monofilament recycling bins when you see them, and if there is none, take your used fishing gears with you. If you hook a bird by accident, don’t cut the line. Call us so we can help. 💙

This Belted Kingfisher came in after she hit a window 😔
But she is strong and resilient, and after a couple of days she was already ready to go! And she was faaaast! 🥹💙

Gopher Tortoise 2279 is proving that slow and steady really does win the race 🐢💚
She arrived in very serious condition and refused to eat for so long that we were preparing to place a feeding tube. Then she surprised us all by starting to eat on her own! She’s been getting stronger every day and will be heading home very soon.
Every gopher tortoise counts. The species is listed as threatened in Florida and considered endangered by some leading conservation organizations. Their burrows shelter more than 350 other species, so helping one tortoise means helping an entire ecosystem. Let’s protect them 💚
