The Little Brown Bird

The Little Brown Bird is a documentary released on April 22, 2025. The film centers on the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, a bird whose wild population dropped to as few as 80 individuals, placing it among the most critically endangered species in the United States. Biologist Fabiola 'Fabby' Baeza-Tarin leads conservation work alongside an unlikely group of collaborators, with efforts focused on protecting both the sparrow and the shrinking grassland habitat that forms the headwaters of the Everglades. The film documents the intersection of species recovery, habitat preservation, and the broader ecological stakes of the Florida interior.
