Audubon Lecture Series: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow and Snail Kite

Join us for an engaging and informative presentation by Dr. Paul Gray, Audubon Florida’s Everglades Science Coordinator, on the recovery of two of Florida’s most iconic and imperiled bird species — the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow and the Snail Kite.

Once on the brink of extinction, both species have been the focus of intensive conservation and recovery efforts. Dr. Gray will share the latest research findings, success stories, and challenges faced in restoring these unique birds and their habitats across the Florida prairie and wetland ecosystems.

Learn how collaborative science, habitat management, and innovative breeding programs are helping these rare species make a comeback — and what’s still needed to ensure their long-term survival.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder, conservationist, or simply curious about Florida’s remarkable wildlife, this talk promises to be both inspiring and informative.
