Bird Migrations

Birds, Sea turtles, Whales, Manatees and Snowbirds are the top five must see migrations for Florida.  I have enjoyed watching many of the birds arrive this fall to Florida, including the Wood Storks.  I have not yet seen the Northern Right Whale on the East Coast of Florida.  They come almost exclusively to to give birth to their calves on our east cost.  I have seen many of the birds, sea turtles, manatees and of course, the famous Snowbirds! We might complain about the increase traffic and the longer wait time at the restaurants, but the Snowbirds are important to our economy.  They are interesting to watch too!


Watching nature go through its paces, we realize that Earth is a vast, interconnected system. Animal migrations make me want to, well – pack a suitcase and follow along,” says Walt Thomson, the Conservancy’s Director of Terrestrial Conservation in Florida.
