Just whooo are these birds?

Few birds generate as much awe and legend as owls, those silent hunters of the night with terrifying cries. This book not only summarizes owl biology but also presents personal essays written by the nocturnal scientists who have spent years tracking these elusive creatures around the world. It’s a fresh, informative approach that powerfully communicates the magic of birds that are so poorly known that new species surface regularly. As revealed in the book’s final section, a compilation of accounts for each of the world’s 205 species of owls, it’s a race to study many of the species before they become extinct.
