A Banner Year for Nesting Birds on Florida’s Beaches
April 29, 2026 — While Florida communities continue to recover from hurricanes, coastal habitat conditions have improved for sea and shorebirds. Why? The storm surge and winds tore out vegetation, leaving large expanses of bare sand, perfect for nesting.
