3 CDD Meeting The next meeting of the CDD will be Tuesday, May 8th at 6:00 PM. HOA Meeting The next meeting of the HOA will be Monday, April 16th at 6:30 PM Bat Maternity Season Begins April 15th Got bats in your belfry, or anywhere else? Now is the time to act. If you have bats roosting in your attic, eaves or chimney spaces, now is the time to give them an eviction notice. Bat maternity season begins April 15 and runs through August 15. Exclusions of bat colonies must be completed before the season starts. During bat maternity season, bats gather to give birth and raise their young, said Terry Doonan, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) biologist and mammal conservation coordinator. The season lasts until the young bats can fly and feed themselves. In Florida, this occurs from mid-april through mid-august for most bat species. Bat exclusions are illegal during this maternity season to prevent young bats that cannot yet fly from being trapped inside structures and dying. Florida is home to 13 resident bat species, including threatened species such as the Florida bonneted bat. Some bat species roost in artificial structures, including buildings and houses. Although it is illegal to harm or kill bats in Florida, guidelines have been developed allowing for the legal exclusion of bats outside of the maternity season. Bats are beneficial to people and are an important part of the ecosystem. The state s native bats help keep insect populations under control, with the average bat eating hundreds of insects a night. In addition to the benefit of keeping mosquitoes and other insects at bay for residents enjoying the outdoors, the value of insect suppression by bats to U.S. agriculture has been estimated to be in the billions of dollars. There are several ways that Florida residents and visitors can help bats: Preserve natural roost sites, including trees with cavities and peeling bark. Dead fronds left on palms can also provide roosting spots for bats. Put up a bat house. Report unusual bat behavior to: MyFWC.com/BatMortality. Bats can carry rabies. Although infected bats may not become aggressive, like any other wild animal, they can bite to defend themselves if handled. Don t touch or go near any wild animal, especially one that s not acting normally. For more information about rabies, visit the Florida Department of Health website at FloridaHealth.gov. FWC staff are working to learn more and share information about Florida s bats. For more information on Florida s bats, go to MyFWC.com/Bats. If you need assistance, contact your closest FWC Regional Office to speak with a regional wildlife assistance biologist for more information.

19 Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the number one state for deaths due to lightning. Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S. than hurricanes and tornadoes combined? Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound. A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can travel as far as 10 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance! It has been known to travel through clear air and strike 10 miles from the storm like a bolt out of the blue! Lightning is actually 5 times hotter than the sun s surface! With all of this knowledge and critical information we d like to remind you of MuraBella s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will close the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen, the clock is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety! No life is worth the risk! Crisp, B. (n.d.). When Lightning Strikes. Retrieved June 26, 2016,from Lightning.shtml
