Audubon Florida, Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, and Audubon EagleWatch lost a dear friend, colleague, advocate, donor, board member, and EagleWatcher this fall. Ann joined EagleWatch in 2012 in Jacksonville, later becoming the county coordinator in that area. Her genuine interest in advocating for the protection and conservation of eagles was clear with every effort she made as she shared her passion and excitement with others.

In addition to our condolences for the friends and family of Ann, we would like to extend our thoughts to the friends and family of all the EagleWatch volunteers we lost this year. Each and every one of our volunteers has made the world a better place for Bald Eagles.
