The Sawgrass Nature Center (SNC) is a nonprofit located in South Florida. Our mission is to educate the public about native wildlife and environmental stewardship. We also rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, orphaned, or sick wildlife. Animals that cannot be released due to permanent injuries or disabilities are given a forever home on site with animal keepers that know how to properly care for them. We are able to operate due to donations from generous patrons. If you are interested in helping us further our mission, check us out at: https://sawgrassnaturecenter.org/

This beautiful Limpkin was seen in our front wetland the other day. You may have heard their calls and thought something terrible was happening! Don't worry, it's just normal territorial behavior. Listen here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Limpkin/sounds
