Book
Owl : a year in the lives of North American owls / Paul Bannick.
Paul Bannick's new book Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls integrates more than 200 new intimate and dramatic images, up-to-date science about owls, and firsthand experience based on tens of thousands of hours spent with owls on their territories in the wild. Readers will witness rare images as the owls move through each stage of their life: courtship, mating, and nesting in spring; feeding of young and fledging in summer; dispersal and gaining independence in fall; and finally, winter's migrations and competitions for food. The book shows how owls use the unique resources available to them in each habitat to overcome the challenges of each season. All 19 species of owls found in Canada and the United States are featured in the photos and narrative throughout the book, with special focus on the Northern Pygmy-Owl, Great Gray Owl, Burrowing Owl and the Snowy Owl.
