FL’s wild heritage is captured in one image: the FL panther, white-tailed deer, American alligator, FL bass, & an anhinga. Each symbolizes the state’s diverse ecosystems, showcasing how conservation connects land, water, & wildlife.

Before the sun rises, they’re already hard at work.
Every detail matters.
Every blade of grass counts.
Golf thrives because of superintendents.
Happy #ThankASuper Day!

Classic El Niño winter pattern in Southwest Florida ahead. 3 cold fronts over the next 7 days. Greater rainfall potential with the fronts on Saturday and next Tuesday, but they also will be monitored for strong storms. Both American and European models painting a preliminary 1 - 2" locally through next Wednesday morning. I'll keep you posted if anything changes on @WINKNews.

HOW CRAZY IS THIS?! 🤯🌧️
Just 100 miles was a difference in *7 feet of rainfall* this year between Naples (30.48") and Fort Lauderdale (113.61"). A simple drive along Alligator Alley separated the #1 driest year on record with the #1 wettest year on record! @NWSMiami @winknews @spann

Took a few days to catch him, but this Wood Stork was in need of some care. Looks like a low stinger got his leg. Quick trip to the new @BuschWildlife for some TLC @AudubonIntl

A reminder to help our feathered friends,
➡️Keep 300+ feet from wading, shore and seabird…groups? flocks? *Googles quickly* A group of seabirds are called WRECKS.
➡️Do not intentionally force birds to fly or run boats or personal watercrafts close to shore.
➡️Keep pets leashed when visiting the shore.
➡️Avoid bird colonies during the nesting season.
➡️Honor signs that designate areas as closed or sensitive for wildlife and encourage others to do the same.
➡️Always dispose of trash and food in designated containers to avoid attracting predators.

As Ben Hyduk, our Director of Golf Course Maintenance, traveled by hole #14 on our Sunrise Course, he came upon two chatty bobcats. We are unsure if this was a turf war, a mating ritual, or something else, but whatever is happening is pretty incredible to see! #wildlifeWednesday

From our new 2021 Wading Bird Report: Nesting numbers for Roseate Spoonbills were nearly double the 10-year average, but most of that gain happened outside of Florida Bay, where spoonbill nesting remains critically low. Read more: fl.audubon.org/news/2021-eve…
