Endangered Birds of Florida
Sparrows
To begin: what is a Bird?
A Bird is a warm blooded, bipedal (two legs)
vertebrate (has a backbone) with feathers,
bills and wings and most can fly.
It lays eggs to reproduce and many theories have
it classified as a direct descendant of Dinosaurs,
dating back to the Jurassic period.
In Florida we have two Endangered Sparrows, the
Cape Sable Seaside and the Grasshopper.

This same set of factors that are now threatening the existence of
these two birds,
also resulted in the extinction of the similar,
Dusky Seaside Sparrow,
the last of which, died in captivity in 1987.
We also have two subspecies that are listed as Species of Special
Concern,
the Scott's Seaside and the Wakulla Seaside.
