Wading birds, including ibises, herons, and storks, which once nested in southern Florida by the millions have decreased because of habitat destruction, A 1974-1975 survey located 41 colonies and 129,800 wading birds nesting in southern Florida. White Ibis and Cattle Egret were most abundant, populations of Great Egrets, Little Blue Herons, Louisiana Herons and Snowy Egrets were lower than expected. Wading birds nested year round but individual specie had more circumscribed nesting seasons...

Wading birds nested year round but individual specie had more circumscribed nesting seasons which differed seasonally and between inland and coastal colonies.

As a part of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife contribution to the South Florida Ecological Study, the Bureau entered into a contract with the National Audubon Society. Under provisions of this contract, Audubon surveyed and inventoried the major colonial-nesting wading bird rookeries in South Florida during the 1971 and 1972 nesting seasons. The status of the region's wading bird populations (outside of the Everglades National Park), as determined by these inventories and from other...
Show moreAs a part of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife contribution to the South Florida Ecological Study, the Bureau entered into a contract with the National Audubon Society. Under provisions of this contract, Audubon surveyed and inventoried the major colonial-nesting wading bird rookeries in South Florida during the 1971 and 1972 nesting seasons. The status of the region's wading bird populations (outside of the Everglades National Park), as determined by these inventories and from other observations and records, is discussed in the National Audubon Society's report to the Bureau by Dr. Alexander Sprunt, IV, and Richard T. Paul. This further discussion is intended to consolidate the Audubon data with data relative to the Everglades Park populations, and to further explore certain relationships between wading birds, water levels, and other biota of the South Florida wetlands ecosystem.

Abstract/Description
-
The wading birds of south Florida have attracted the attention of naturalists, biologists and conservationists for decades. These species of herons, ibis, spoonbils, and storks have figured importantly in national and international conservation efforts and in the establishment of natural preserves such as Everglades National Park and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Regional population decreases caused initially by hunting and then by loss of habitat are well known.

Abstract/Description

Recent waterfowl kill and survey data for south Florida are summarized. The harvest in the Everglades Region (an administrative region of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission) increased by 66 percent from the previous season, reflecting, in part, a 36 percent greater hunter effort in the former period. Aerial survey counts for Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Conservation Areas 2 and 3, Lake Okeechobee, and the southwest Florida coast are presented. In the past, considerable...
Show moreRecent waterfowl kill and survey data for south Florida are summarized. The harvest in the Everglades Region (an administrative region of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission) increased by 66 percent from the previous season, reflecting, in part, a 36 percent greater hunter effort in the former period. Aerial survey counts for Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Conservation Areas 2 and 3, Lake Okeechobee, and the southwest Florida coast are presented. In the past, considerable fluctuation has occurred in the regional waterfowl population. The present long-term trend is a reduction in numbers of most species, which is largely attributable to the general decline in North American waterfowl populations and the availability of select waterfowl habitat in central and northern Florida and in states further north. Heavy airboat traffic in central south Florida areas disturbs some resting waterfowl and displaces them to Central and South America and the West Indies.
