Abstract
Three adult male Florida Grasshopper Sparrows recaptured during a banding study on the Avon Park Air Force Range, Highlands County, Florida extend the longevity record for Grasshopper Sparrows beyond published records to at least 6.6 yr. Recaptures were =320 m from original banding locations, which is consistent with the supposition that Florida Grasshopper Sparrows are sedentary. This population of the endangered Florida subspecies appears to be longer-lived than Grasshopper Sparrow populations in other parts of the species' range and may have different demographic patterns. Long-term studies are needed to confirm this.
