And the winner is...Kiwi the Mississippi Kite! This poofy underdog made her way all the way through the ranks to be crowned this year's Fat Bird Week champion! In a shake up no one saw coming, Kiwi beat title holder Maple and favorite Gopher for an incredible win! You can visit Kiwi at our Center in Maitland when she is out for walks with her trainers, or at our upcoming special events. But of course, all of our poofy, floofy raptors are worth visiting, come see us from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, or attend our upcoming Hawks and Haunts event on Halloween!

Registration opens at noon today!

There are 60 trips, with opportunity for everyone with wonderful leaders throughout the five days.

Our Saturday, Big Day Van trips are 6:30AM - 3:00PM, from the McDonald Canal with lunch. Each team will move quickly in the rented van from place to place trying to see as many species as they can, for bragging rights. Each one will have five participants and 2 leaders in each trip. Here are your leader choices:

Sat 3. Will Johnson and Gary Steinberg
Sat 4. Alex Lamoreaux and Lorri Lilja
Sat 5. Bob Duchesne and Mary Soule
Sat 6. Gallus Quigley and Brian Cammarano

And of course there is a Young Birders version Sat 6a. That’s the team that has won the last few years!

And if rushing around on a Big Day isn’t your cup of tea, there is a wonderful team leading Sat 1 Birding by Ear and are a bunch of other trips to choose.

Here is the schedule to check out:https://mcusercontent.com/3683cf6f5d46d6747b4fd58cc/files/6c274a70-3904-b25a-522e-4e231ae93361/NSBF_Brief_Schedule_9_26_26_ver.07.pdf

Heads up, Florida! We have a Migration Alert ‼️

Cornell Lab of Ornithology predicts 293 million birds will be traveling TONIGHT. That number is expected to increase over the next few days.

Migratory birds are easily disoriented by artificial light. It is estimated that 1 billion birds die from collision with glass in the USA alone.

💡Consider turning OFF all outdoor lights at sunset to protect birds from disorientation and collision.

Let’s work together to make this journey safer for migratory birds. 🦅🕊️🦆🦜
