Happy Autumn! Happy October! Happy Almost Halloween!
I just read a book that seems appropriate for the season. It’s What an Owl Know—The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds by Jennifer Ackerman.
Did you know that 260 species of owls exist today? They range, Ackerman writes, from the Elf Owl, a little nugget of a bird, about the size of a small pinecone and the weight of eight stacked nickels, to the massive Eurasian Eagle Owl, which can take a young deer.
