Thanks to @hootalex, TIL that the adorable Florida scrub jay could lose its protection under the Endangered Species Act — due to a lawsuit from “a young tech entrepreneur” and new Florida property owner. (And a ruling against the scrub jay would affect many other species, too.)

The birds have already lost a lot of their habitat, as explained here: https://floridaphoenix.com/2026/03/26/landowner-lawsuit-over-florida-scrub-jays-has-national-ramifications/

“Florida used to have a lot of habitat for Florida scrub jays. Now, not so much.

“As it says right in their name, the places these little birds live are in the Florida scrub — sandy spots full of pines, oaks, and saw palmetto. Another species that’s strongly attracted to these dry spots: Developers.

“Take a wild guess which one is dominating the Florida landscape now. It ain’t the scrub jays.”

Landowner lawsuit over Florida scrub jays has national ramifications • Florida Phoenix

There’s no “Cutest Critter in Florida” contest but, if there were, I can name a few contestants. The diminutive Key deer, for one. The seagrass-munching manatee for another. And, of course, the friendly Florida scrub jay. You may not be familiar with the scrub jay. Contrary to what The Trashmen used to sing, not everybody’s […]

@The14 Well, first we need strong protection and regulations. But then ... you know ... in your Amazon link can be found a lot of salep and some products look even illegal. That's an absurd combination to "your" article. 🙄
