We're celebrating World Wetlands Day and kicking off our 70th anniversary tomorrow! #WorldWetlandsDay

Celebrate your love for birds and nature by participating in the Audubon Florida Birdathon! April 20-26, 2024. fl.audubon.org/news/audubon-f…

Above-average rainfall this winter has kept water levels at the swamp high. While rain is usually good news, too much water during #nestingseason can make it difficult for wading birds to find fish. See rainfall and water level graphs here. #wetlands corkscrew.audubon.org/news/above-ave…

We will temporarily shut down the Plume Hunters Camp spur from 11:30 a.m. to about noon while ignition is underway. The main boardwalk stretch from the Plume Hunters Camp spur to the wet prairie overlook will remain open, with staff managing the flow of visitors. #prescribedfire

Sightings and photographs from Birdathon keep rolling in! We are so excited to bird with all of you this week in honor of the species that make Florida so special.

Wood Storks are having some success at Lenore Island in the Caloosahatchee River and BC-29. However, this season, no wading bird nesting activity has been observed at the historic Corkscrew colony due to high water levels. Read more: corkscrew.audubon.org/news/wood-stor…

In remembrance of Joan Browder. Joan Browder was a trailblazer for women in science. She began her career at Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, examining Wood Stork feeding behaviors and patterns. 1/4 wlrn.org/environment/20…

We need a veto. The "Taking of Bears" law is likely unconstitutional, unnecessary, and dangerous. We need broader adoption of solutions for living alongside FL bears, instead of legislation encouraging individuals to open fire in Florida neighborhoods. act.audubon.org/a/bears

#BreakingNews‌ the "Super" ghost orchid is currently sporting four tiny buds! We expect the first blossom to open around the end of June. Photo: R J Wiley

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary received 17.72 inches of rainfall in June 2024, making this the 8th rainiest June since 1960. Water levels rose just under four feet between June 11 and 14. corkscrew.audubon.org/news/june-rain…

The "Super" ghost orchid is in full bloom with four blossoms open at this time. They should last about another week or two. To see them from the boardwalk, binoculars or a scope are necessary. Photo: R J Wiley #Florida #orchids

It's #Throwbackthursday! 60 years ago Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary was designated as one of the first 7 National Natural Landmarks! Stanley Joseph, National Park Service (left), and Carl Bucheister, National Audubon Society President, display a plaque and certificate in this photo.

The "Super" ghost orchid's 2024 bloom has concluded for now. Today, one faded flower remains (it may have been pollinated) and the other was munched on by a caterpillar. We will share news of additional buds whenever they appear. #orchid Photo (from July 3) by RJ Wiley.
