Barn Owl - by David Chandler, Nigel Blake
SUMMARY: Given their largely nocturnal existence, few of us are lucky enough to glimpse a barn owl. But with the advent of minicams in backyard nesting boxes, birdwatchers can enjoy real-time online viewing of barn owls. Not surprisingly, interest in barn owls and wild birds in general is increasing.
Barn Owl reveals these remarkable creatures in detail. Rarely seen images -- including stunning photographs of nesting owls and their owlet chicks -- accompany the authoritative text, which describes:
*The survival of barn owls
*Their biology and behavior
*Courtship and reproduction
*Life cycle
*How and what they hunt
*Social interaction
*Conservation.
The ghostly barn owl is further brought to life through personal anecdotes from the author and photographer, which are woven into the text. A list of resources directs readers to additional information on the elusive barn owl.
RECOMMENDATION: A must have for anyone interested in the Barn Owl!
