Jay Watch Celebrates a Successful 2022 Season

Remarkably, in just 2022 alone, 97 volunteers invested over 985 hours performing field surveys across the state.

Audubon Florida coordinates the Jay Watch community science program statewide. We train and support volunteers to conduct scientific surveys that measure annual nesting success and count the total number of Florida Scrub-Jays at more than 45 sites in 19 counties. The success of the Jay Watch program, and the program’s contributions to the recovery of Florida Scrub-Jays, depends upon dedicated volunteer community scientists like you, your family, and your friends.
