Jan. 22, 2018

West Palm Beach, FL – Studying birds helps the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) manage wildlife habitat on public lands. 

Tune in with the early birds Friday, Jan. 26, at 7 a.m. on the SFWMD Facebook page as SFWMD wildlife biologist Brian Garrett helps band and release sparrows. Data collected on the birds in the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed on the Southwest Coast provides valuable information to help manage this sensitive environment.

Garrett will take questions live on Facebook.

Submit Your Questions

The public is also welcome to submit science questions about sparrows in advance for the biologist to answer live. Email SFWMD Media Relations Representative Gabe Margasak at gmargasak@sfwmd.gov, or comment under the link to this news release on Facebook.
