Why are they being moved to the Buck Lake Conservation Area?
Many sites in Brevard County were evaluated as potential recipient sites for these birds. Buck Lake was chosen because it is an important property for conserving scrub-jays in northern Brevard County. It has plenty of good quality habitat not currently being used by scrub-jays. The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has done extensive restoration on the property to create quality scrub-jay habitat. The scrub-jay population is closely monitored, and there is close cooperation between the SJRWMD, the FWC, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Brevard Zoo, and some of the key scrub-jay biologists in the state.
