Exploring the World of Owls
Description
The haunting sound of its distant hoot may be as close as many of us ever get

across North America. These birds of prey display noticeable differences in
size and markings, but they also share many physical traits and living skills.
How do owls capture prey and defend themselves? How are their wings designed
for silent, gliding flight? How do owls conceal themselves from predators?
Young readers will learn the answers to these questions and much more in the
beautifully illustrated Exploring the World of Owls. Read more
