Whooooo Knew?

I've always thought that owls had their own mystique, and deserved their rep as full of wisdom and stature in the natural world. After reading this, though, I'm even more fascinated than before! So many fun facts to absorb, and Miriam, our author, was intrepid in her efforts to leave no stone unturned in scouring her corner of the world for owl data. The owl info was intertwined with a distressing side story through the whole book, though--as the author was putting together her research notes, her son was simultaneously undergoing a mysterious seizure disorder that was vaguely improved by the last page, but not really diagnosed. I worried about him from beginning to end. Ailing son aside, it was a lovely and informative read about our hooting friends. I might just buy some binoculars . . .
