To protect vulnerable raptors this year, EagleWatch volunteers worked with local governments to safeguard nests in their communities while alerting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to a potential new threat.

If you see a banded eagle, report the band to the Bird Banding Lab or to the EagleWatch program at eaglewatch@audubon.org.

Notes from Shawnlei Breeding, EagleWatch Program Manager

Heather Centanni combines her passion for Bald Eagle nest monitoring with her job as a life enrichment director at an assisted living community.

Looking back at our second-annual Rainbow Raptors event, held June 29, 2024.

International students from the University of Central Florida spent a recent day at the Center learning about climate change through nature exploration and art.

A family of Ospreys are reunited thanks to the collaborative effort of Center volunteers, billboard technicians, and a local fire station.

Since 2017, Audubon has run an Auxiliary Banding Study to determine if the type of nest a chick hatches in influences the type of nest it chooses as a breeding adult. Rescued juvenile eagles rehabilitated at the Center receive a colored auxiliary leg band before release.

Attend our special Earth Day events on April 20 and 21 as part of your Birdathon and have a chance to win cool prizes.

Connick will move to his permanent home in early 2024.
