February’s Hot Topic

The Florida Scrub Jay will be the topic of our upcoming program, and there's so much to get excited about when learning about this bird! The species is unique to Florida; it lives nowhere else in the world. They make their homes only in Florida scrub (areas of short scrubby oaks growing on sandy soil), a habitat that can be found mostly in Central Florida.

We hope to see you at our Chapter Program on February 19th!
