Jim Jones is the president of Volunteers for Wildlife in Huntington. He is also Marcus' handler. Marcus, a great horned owl, is one of approximately 25 permanent residents at the Volunteers for Wildlife Facility. The facility is in the process of relocating from Caumsett State Historic Park in Huntington, to Bailey Arboretum in Lattingtown. Volunteers for Wildlife is an educational facility as well as a rehabilitation center. Donations to sponsor the housing of their permanent residents are always welcome, and are tax deductible. Of course, they are also always looking for volunteers.

Looking for something to do this weekend? There's plenty of history and nature to take in right here in town. Patch took a cue from Residents for A More Beautiful Port Washington, which recently organized a be-a-tourist-at-home event, and spent a Saturday taking in the sites.
Patch took some photos at Sands Point Preserve and Sandminers Monument, noting that here there always seems to be interesting happenings on the peninsula.

I live on the water in Port Washington and the nesting pole for the Osprey's was knocked over in a storm this winter. It needs to be replaced. The birds are upset looking for their nest. Located at Toms Point Marina, where the pole is floating in the water. Elevin9599@aol.com
