Wildlife in North Florida- Critters Big and Small

Tall Timbers Research Station studies the family choices of a charismatic cooperative breeding bird– the brown-headed nuthatch.

We head to the Tallahassee Museum to meet a Florida panther and learn about apex predators in north Florida.

Tall Timbers scours north Florida marshes for two fire dependent and very secretive bird species: black and yellow rails.

Lake Jackson is a dynamic water body. We track wildlife as seasons change and the lake dries and refills. Will update periodically.

The Nature Conservancy releases indigo snakes for the seventh consecutive year, reintroducing an apex predator into a biodiversity hotspot.

Lake Jackson has some of Leon County’s top birding hot spots. Some of the lake’s most diehard bird watchers show us why.

We tag along for a Wakulla Springs Wildlife Survey, and the volunteer surveyors share decades of wildlife photos from the spring.

Witness how zebra longwing caterpillars go crazy for passionvine, and how, as butterflies, go crazy for each other when it’s time to mate.

Watch the gulf fritillary life cycle- mating, egg laying, every caterpillar stage, making a chrysalis, and finally, an adult.

Three kids attend a striped newt release in the Munson Sandhills, and host a video about their experience.
