The
Book of North American Owls
by Helen Roney Sattler, Jean Day Zallinger (Illustrator)
(Hardcover)
Humans have long regarded owls with a mixture of fear and fascination.
Since most owls are nocturnal, and many live in remote habitats, they were
not well studied until the past two decades. The owl remains a symbol of
wisdom; however, the birds' keen senses, hunting ability, and contributions
to their ecosystem are equally impressive. Packed with scrupulously accurate
information and meticulous watercolor illustrations, "The Book of North
American Owls" covers owl classification and history, habitat, life cycle-and
the complex relationship between owls and humans. The comprehensive glossary
includes all of the twenty-one North American species.

North
American Owls: Journey Through a Shadowed World
by Jim Burns
Book Description
There are 19 species of owls in North America and a spectacularly-illustrated
chapter is devoted to each in this intriguing natural history narrative.
Author Jim Burns takes the reader on a journey of discovering owls during
his travels across the United States. His two rules of owling—that owls
never appear when and where they are expected, and that owls always appear
when and where they are least expected—set the tone for this informative
and exciting excursion into the world of owls. The essays are combined
with stunning full-color images of these elusive birds, and as these birds
are so often heard and not seen, an audio CD is part of this complete owl
package, showcasing the magnificent calls of these beautiful and mysterious
birds. Jim Burns has been photographing birds for over 20 years. Widely
known and appreciated in the birding world, he has been published in Birding,
Birders World, and the Cactus Wrendition.
