Save Dusky Sparrow: Five Males in Hybrid Breeding Plan
A Florida coalition led by the Audubon Society, Walt Disney Productions, and singer Jimmy Buffett seeks to save the endangered dusky seaside sparrow by back crossing five male birds with Gulf Coast sparrow females. The plan, starting within 30 days, aims to produce dusky offspring over five years and reintroduce birds into reflooded swamps near the Kennedy Space Center. Disney funds most of the first year costs. Buffett fundraises in Miami. The project faces legal limits on hybrid work per the Fish and Wildlife Service.
