The Florida Scrub-Jay is the symbol of the Seminole Audubon Society. It is the only bird species that lives exclusively in Florida. It can be found in low-growing oak scrub and scrubby flatwoods. The numbers of Florida Scrub-Jay are small due to development and habitat fragmentation, it is on the federal endangered species list.
