Audubon’s Everglades Science Center has a long history of monitoring the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) in the Florida Bay, studying their environment and how human actions affect this bird's behavior directly and indirectly. These pink birds are an indicator species for the Everglades Restoration Plan, so studying their population success and ecological interactions tell us a great deal about the health of the ecosystem. Through monitoring, banding, and tracking, scientists have learned a great deal about this beautiful pink bird, but a lot is yet to be understood about how current events will affect the Roseate Spoonbill and the Everglades as a whole.

Join FWC Biologists to learn more about:

• The history of the Roseate Spoonbill in the Florida Bay 

• Audubon’s Everglades Science Center

• Tracking and Banding

• Current ongoing Roseate Spoonbill research
