Una nota de archivo sobre el proyecto del puente de Tamiami Trail y la restauración del flujo de agua hacia los Everglades.

“This is currently the largest ecosystem restoration in the United States of America,” Secretary Salazar said. “It is also the largest ecosystem restoration project in the world.”

Hi Juan,
Thank you so much for your banded spoonbill sighting reports and photos. I wanted to give you a bit of history on the birds that you saw.

EN vertical gray was banded as a chick on an island in the southeastern portion of Florida Bay on 12/31/08.

07-A vertical black was banded as a chick on an island in the northwestern portion of Florida Bay on 12/1/06.

If you zoom in on the 3rd photo you sent, there is actually a 1 next to the 9, making that bird 91-D vertical black. That bird was banded as a chick on an island in the northwestern portion of Florida Bay on 1/1/08.

It is amazing to see how different the plumages are between 07-A and 91-D despite being only about 3 months apart in age.
