“Enter the world of the mysterious birds of the night,” says the cover of this book, delivering what it promises right from the first page. Wildlife photojournalist and nature educator Mark Wilson carefully documents the little-seen lives of these distinctive birds. He offers dramatic images of the 19 owl species of North America nesting, flying, hunting, and catching prey, plus lots of information about their silent flight, remarkable eyes and ears, haunting calls, and fascinating adventures. Kids will learn how to spot and identify owls, and mimic their hoots and calls. And the cover glows in the dark!
