Summary
A naturalist probes the forest, mainly at night, to comprehend the secret lives of owls. Join Leigh Calvez on adventures into the world of owls: owl-watching, avian science, and the deep forest--often in the dead of night. These birds are fascinating and a bit mysterious. Calvez makes the science entertaining and accessible while exploring the questions about the human-animal connection, owl obsession, habitat, owl calls, social behavior, and mythology
