ICYMI 🦅 Bald Eagle Glow-Up

Bald eagles don’t get that iconic white head and yellow beak overnight—it takes nearly 5 years to reach their full adult look. This chart highlights their incredible transformation from mottled brown juveniles to the majestic birds we all recognize today.

👀 Did you know? Florida is home to around 1,500 nesting pairs of bald eagles—that’s roughly 3,000 adult birds!

🌴 That makes Florida one of the top states in the U.S. for bald eagle populations, thanks to our abundance of lakes, wetlands, and coastlines.

📍Keep an eye out for them soaring over places like Lake Apopka, the St. Johns River, and along Florida’s coast.

💧 Springs Protection Awareness Month 💧

Florida is home to one of the largest concentrations of freshwater springs on Earth—more than 700 statewide. Even more incredible, 148 of those springs are right here within the St. Johns River Water Management District.

These crystal-clear waters are more than just beautiful—they’re vital to our environment, wildlife, and water supply. Protecting them starts with all of us.

Because Florida water—it’s worth saving. 💙
