Audubon Florida Releases 2022 Jay Watch Report, Detailing Community Science Successes for the Florida Scrub-Jay FOR MORE INFORMATION: Erika Zambello, Communications Director – erika.zambello@audubon.org The 2022 Jay Watch Report is now available. Published annually by Audubon Florida, the Report showcases the work of the Jay Watch program, a network of volunteers and staff dedicated to conservation of the Florida Scrub-Jay, the state’s only endemic bird species. Remarkably, in 2022 alone, 97 volunteers invested over 985 hours performing field surveys across the state. They monitored 246 family groups, 173 juvenile jays, and 585 adult jays. Report highlights include: How community science is saving the Florida Scrub-Jay, the importance of photography as a tool for conservation and education, a recap of Jay Watch appreciation event held last fall at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, and a creative fundraising idea from one of the Audubon chapters. Jay Watch is a statewide community science program that trains and supports a team of nearly 100 volunteers who conduct scientific surveys that measure annual nesting success and count the total number of Florida Scrub-Jays at more than 45 sites in 19 counties. ### Audubon Florida protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Audubon works throughout the Americas using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation. State programs, nature centers, chapters, and partners give Audubon an unparalleled wingspan that reaches millions of people each year to inform, inspire, and unite diverse communities in conservation action.
