This Hidden Florida Wildlife Sanctuary Lets You Come Face-to-Face With Rescued Owls and Hawks

Owls that sound a little like monkeys live just minutes from downtown Orlando. Yes, really. The hooting gets surprisingly wild once a pair of them starts chatting. The place started rescuing injured raptors back in 1979. It still treats sick and hurt eagles, hawks, owls, and ospreys today. The ones that can’t return to the wild get a forever home and a job as teachers.

Bartow football's regular-season tests prepare program for playoffs

The last time the Bartow Yellow Jackets won a first-round playoff game was on Nov. 10, 2023, when the local program defeated Winter Haven 7-0. That means Bartow (6-4) on Friday night, Nov. 13, at Oviedo High School is trying to win its first playoff game in three years when the Yellow Jackets take the field at 7:30 p.m. With the win, Bartow would have won four of six after playing local and state powerhouses in Lake Wales and Lakeland the last couple of weeks. Still, second-year Bartow head football coach Grady Morrell has had full confidence before the year even started that his Yellow Jackets would make a playoff run. "That was one of our goals in changing our culture. It's a step-by-step process. ... We are one play at a time type team. ... I tell our guys all the time that we are one or two plays away on being 7-3 or one or two plays away from not making the playoffs. ... (We) are thankful for having the opportunity, blessed to be having the opportunity, so we've been going at it full force these past two weeks," Morrell said.
