Most shorebirds and seabirds that nest on rooftops are state-threatened species, such as black skimmers and least terns. Currently, more than 50% of Florida’s least tern population relies upon rooftops for nesting.
Shorebirds and seabirds typically nest directly on beaches along Florida’s coasts, however, as our shorelines become more crowded with people, less nesting space is available and birds increasingly use gravel rooftops to nest and raise chicks.
Nesting season for shorebirds and seabirds takes place in Florida between March and August. For buildings that have shorebirds nesting on rooftops, it is recommended that routine maintenance and nonemergency repairs be conducted outside of nesting season, between September and February.If unexpected repairs are required during the nesting season, building owners can work with the FWC’s regional shorebird biologists to determine if they could occur and how to apply if a permit is needed.
If you are staying at a hotel or visiting a business that has rooftop nesting birds, thank management and staff for helping shorebird and seabird conservation.. You can help the FWC monitor rooftop nesting locations. Contact us for opportunities in your area by emailing:.
