Protect and Restore Our Bays Together

As temperatures cool, many species make their way to Florida’s coastline in search of milder weather and reliable food sources. One of those seasonal arrivals is a small shorebird called the Dunlin! Found along Florida Panhandle beaches, mudflats, and tidal marsh edges, they can often be seen feeding in large flocks as they probe the sand with downturned bills. In winter, Dunlins transition to a soft gray-brown plumage that allows them to blend into our coastal landscapes. If you’re by the water this season, keep an eye out for these travelers exploring the shoreline! #wildlifewednesday
