The
Endangered Birds of Florida
To begin: what is a Bird?
A Bird is a warm blooded,
bipedal (two legs)
vertebrate (has a backbone)
with feathers,
bills and wings and most can
fly.
It lays eggs to reproduce and
many theories have
it classified as a direct
descendant of Dinosaurs,
dating back to the Jurassic
period.
Florida is a paradise for bird
watchers with
over 480 different Species of Birds
to Track
along the
Great Florida Birding Trail.
The tropical environment, the abundance
of water
and the multitude of insects, make this a
most appealing Habitat for all Species of
birds.
