There was a homecoming at Whippoorwill Farm in West Tisbury on Wednesday for a rescued barn owl.

Each spring, Gus Ben David makes sure he has a large group of hens in various stage of motherhood. He’s not doing this because he loves chicken eggs and baby chicks, though. He’s maintaining a roster of foster moms.

Wild Care Cape Cod brings Wilfred the Barn Owl back to Whipporwill Farm in West Tisbury to release it where it was rescued.
