The landowner with the abandoned homesite off Lqp CR 12 where I saw the barn owl will not allow anyone to access his property. The nearly-collapsed barn is a liability. It is, however, easy to view from the side of the road. The site is surrounded by 494 acres of public land, listed as Florida Creek WMA: Southwest Unit. I went out this evening with Bob Williams and Garrett Wee. There was a Rough-Legged Hawk and 6 Short-Eared Owls in the area but we weren't able to locate a Barn Owl. There are 6 other derelict abandoned buildings a mile or so southwest of the WMA. I'll continue to stake out this area in the evenings and check them as potential roosting sites.
