Grasshopper Sparrow

Florida health officials are urging doctors to reconsider prescribing psychotropic meds for kids. Could this affect how kids are treated for mental health issues?

The Florida grasshopper sparrow was near extinction only a few years ago. The recent release of the 1,000th captive-raised sparrow into the wild has rekindled optimism.

The Florida grasshopper sparrow was North America’s most endangered bird, with around 80 left in the wild. The total wild population has jumped to more than 120.
