Audubon Everglades invites its membership to the October member lecture program, “The Life History and Legal Status of Crested Caracaras in Florida,” with biologist Rachel King. Join us for this Zoom-hosted presentation on Tuesday, October 6 at 7pm and hear about Rachel’s adventures in the field, surveying these winged beauties and their conservation status.

Originally from South Carolina, Rachel moved to Orlando as a teenager and attended the University of Central Florida, where she earned her B.S. in Biology. She received her M.S. in Ecology at the University of Georgia, studying spatial ecology and overland movements of aquatic turtles. Rachel began her career as a regional biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, where she learned how to conduct bird surveys for species that included the White-Crowned Pigeon, Florida Scrub-Jay, Crested Caracara, and wading birds. At Ecological Associates, Inc., Rachel continues to work with bird species, particularly the Florida Scrub-Jay and Crested Caracara.
