Message from an Owl.

I found another great book on owls and although it is not specifically about the burrowing owl, it is still a great book and one can learn a lot about owls in general by reading it. I have provided a link to the site you may order the book as well as some comments about the book. Enjoy!

Messages from an Owl, by Max R. Terman

Publishers Weekly: "Terman gives an engaging account of his experiences in training and tracking a captive-reared great horned owl."

John Bonner, New Scientist: "Terman's book combines an off-beat adventure story with pertinent observations on the nature-versus-nurture debate and stylistically wavers between scientific detachment and a more anthropomorphic tone.... [He] is a skilled and dedicated animal behaviorist. The book is a unique and fine testament to long hours spent on the twilit Kansas prairie."

Keith Henderson, The Christian Science Monitor: "This is a meticulously recorded scientific observation. But it's one appealingly interwoven with emotion and sentiment. In a word, it's readable, for ornithologist and layman alike.... The strength of Terman's writing is an unaffected blend of feeling and precise scientific note-taking.... It could well take its place among naturalist classics."

Wildlife Activist: "This book provides a readable, informative account of the intimate relationship between a college biology professor and ... an abandoned nestling great horned owl named Stripey.... Ornithologists and bird watchers will enjoy reading this interesting book."
