Birds devastated by Tropical Storm Colin now need help to survive holiday weekend.
This Independence Day weekend, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Audubon are asking beach goers to protect coastal nesting birds and wildlife by giving them space, and keeping personal fireworks off our beaches and waterways. Fireworks explosions, large and small, scare adults from nests, leaving them vulnerable to predation or crushing underfoot; chicks scatter and find themselves lost and in harm’s way.
