Painted Bunting at C-139 Annex
This colorful painted bunting was among a wide variety of birds spotted in a wildlife survey at the site of the Sam Jones/Abiaki Prairie C-139 Annex Restoration Project.
The project will restore 15,000 acres of former citrus grove back to Everglades habitat, featuring an expansive wet prairie system with scattered cypress domes, tree island hammocks and sloughs. The SFWMD Governing Board approved the start of restoration work in December 2015. Read more about the project in this news release.
