To find a location near you, visit www.goodwillswfl.org/ The Bailey Homestead had originally been a row farm, growing crops such as retaildonations. tomatoes, squash, eggplant and other vegetables, until the hurricane of 1926 ruined the island’s rich soil. Later, the site included citrus trees such as orange, grapefruit and lime. The property also includes what members of The Hammerheads call the “Honey House.” Built after the original structure, the small building is where workers would process the row crops and honey farmed onsite. Over the next few months, work to be completed at the Bailey Homestead Preserve includes adding final touches to the pavilion, grading of the properties’ pathways and parking areas, installing fencing and finishing the interior layout of the house itself.

During the day, these owls hide in dense foliage – their brown and gray plumage makes them masters of camou- flage – and emerge at night to feed a wide variety of prey, which they hunt from a favorite perch. Despite their impressive size, one must be alert to catch a glimpse of these owls; they can go completely unnoticed as they fly noiselessly through the dense canopy of the woods or snooze in the cavity of a tree. To hear a barred owl is a more easily attainable endeavor, as they are highly vocal and known for mak- ing many calls: the begging calls of nestlings, ascending hoots and caterwauling. The most recognizable one is the nine syllable call “hoo, hoo, too-HOO; hoo, hoo, too-HOO, ooo” which is often phrased as “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you, all?” The barred owl, patient #15-1923, was recently moved to a secluded outdoor enclosure on CROW’s wooded campus In late June, a barred owl was found on the ground continue with that (for awhile).
