Our Mission Statement: We support and promote birdlife on Sanibel and Captiva Islands with an emphasis on habitat, conservation, and education.

NEW! Upcoming Webinar from CROW: MARCH 29, 2023 at 1:00 pm. "Status of Birds Following Hurricane Ian," presented by Audrey Albrecht, Shorebird Biologist, Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF). For registration and information on CROW'S entire speaker series, please visit their website.

NEW! Wildlife Drive and the  Visitor Center at The J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuges  Will Re- Open April 4

 On September 28, Hurricane Ian, a near category-five storm, ravaged Refuge habitat and facilities, triggering the closure of all its waters and land to public access. February 1, “Ding” opened its Tarpon Bay Recreation Area, and on April 4, it will open the gate to Wildlife Drive for the first time with a chamber of commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony. The “Ding” Darling Visitor & Education Center will also reopen that day.

10/2022  DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF HURRICANE IAN, SAN-CAP AUDUBON WILL NOT BE OFFERING ANY PROGRAMS OR BIRDWALKS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE FOR UPDATES.

Programs: A speaker series every Thursday night in January and February, covering topics related to birds and conservation. 

Bird Walks: Starting with the Christmas Bird Count and continuing until April, we hold bird walks every Saturday at several on and off island locations. 

Led by experienced leaders, the walks are fun and educational. Most walks require walking up to a mile over uneven terrain. All are welcome.

Resources & News:  Watch our short shorebird video highlighting the threats Sanibel shorebirds face everyday on the beach and showcasing simple ways beachgoers can be good neighbors to shorebirds and other coastal wildlife.
