"I fly over Florida's waterways every single day — and let me tell you, what I see changes completely depending on the season! Some months manatees are everywhere. Other months sea turtles take over the beaches. Then the birds arrive. Then the fish spawn. Florida is like a revolving door of wildlife, and today we're going to learn why!"
Florida's Wildlife — A Year-Round Show!
Florida's location at the tip of the southeastern United States makes it one of the most important wildlife corridors in North America. Because Florida stays warm year-round, it attracts animals seeking refuge from cold northern winters — while its summers bring nesting and breeding seasons for iconic local species. Understanding these seasonal patterns helps us protect wildlife at the most critical times of year. From manatees in winter to sea turtles in summer, Florida's ecosystems are always active.
