Critically endangered Florida grasshopper sparrows released into wild

Captive-reared Florida grasshopper sparrows are being released on public lands in Osceola County during the coming weeks in an ongoing effort to reverse a near collapse of the species.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and partners are releasing captive-reared sparrows in an effort to boost the existing population. Current survey counts show fewer than 80 sparrows in the wild.

In recent years, the population of Florida grasshopper sparrows has declined sharply. Extinction in the wild is a very real possibility, and the multi-partner recovery program’s captive breeding and release efforts are part of the strategy to avoid this outcome.

“There’s no time to waste for this charismatic songbird found nowhere else in the world. The sparrow is fighting hard for its existence and so must we,” said Julie Wraithmell, executive director of Audubon Florida. “This release throws a lifeline to the species while agency researchers continue to search for the key to the sparrow’s recovery in the wild.” Read more

Colorado: Petition to Ban Bobcat Trapping, Hunting Fails

GW:  Not tired of winning yet!

Yesterday, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission unanimously denied a petition to ban all bobcat hunting and trapping.

Safari Club International took swift action to ensure that the ill-conceived petition did not succeed.

SCI reached out to Colorado members and in less than a week they responded in full force by sending over 350 letters to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioners.

The letters explained why the petition was not only unnecessary but also could have negative impacts on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department’s ability to manage the state’s bobcat population.

SCI looks forward to continuing working with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and their Commission to make certain that hunting continues to be an important part of the state’s management of wildlife and that Colorado remains a state with excellent hunting opportunities. Read more

May 11 is World Migratory Bird Day

MEMPHIS, Tennessee – May is American Wetlands month and as duck nesting season gets underway across North America, Ducks Unlimited and the rest of the world will celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) on Saturday, May 11.

“Each year, World Migratory Bird Day focuses awareness on conserving migratory birds and their habitats throughout the world,” Ducks Unlimited Chief Operating Officer Nick Wiley said. “The program is dedicated to conservation efforts and environmental education all over the world, including North America, where Ducks Unlimited works every day to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl. DU’s conservation work benefits hundreds of species of migratory birds in addition to waterfowl, including some species whose populations are struggling, especially grassland nesting species in the Northern Great Plains like Baird’s sparrow or Sprague’s pipit.”

The conservation theme for this year’s World Migratory Bird Day is “Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution.”

The accumulation of plastic and plastic pollution has become a threat to birds across the globe. Most plastic is not recycled, but discarded as waste, accumulating in landfills and the environment. Some birds eat plastic debris, mistaking it for food. Read more
