This month we will be reading "What an Owl Knows" by Jennifer Ackerman.
\nWith their forward gaze and quiet fl
ight\, owls are often a symbol of wisdom\, knowledge\, and foresight. But
what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Some
two hundred sixty species of owls exist today\, and they reside on every c
ontinent except Antarctica\, but they are far more difficult to find and s
tudy than other birds because they are cryptic\, camouflaged\, and mostly
active at night. Though human fascination with owls goes back centuries\,
scientists have only recently begun to understand the complex nature of th
ese extraordinary birds.
\;
In \;What an Owl Knows\, Je
nnifer Ackerman joins scientists in the field and explores how researchers
are using modern technology and tools to learn how owls communicate\, hun
t\, court\, mate\, raise their young\, and move about from season to seaso
n. Ackerman brings this research alive with her own personal field observa
tions\; the result is an awe-inspiring exploration of owls across the glob
e and through human history\, and a spellbinding account of the world's mo
st enigmatic group of birds.
