The owl is perhaps the most beloved, feared, and evocative of all winged creatures.
Jonathan Maslow's vastly entertaining book — a blend of natural history, philosophy, and poetry — investigates the life and habitat of the nocturnal bird of prey. From winter to fall, he follows the birds to listen to their vocabulary of hoots, observe their nesting patterns, and view their powerful and silent flight.
Maslow truly captures the essence of the fabled owl in this surprising, lyrical, and informative book.
