In The Hidden Lives of Owls, LeighCalvezpursues eleven different owl species-including the Barred,Flammulated, Northern Saw-Whet, Northern Pygmy, Northern Spotted, Burrowing, Snowy, and Great Gray. In an entertaining and accessible style,Calvezrelays the details of her avian studies, from the thuggish behavior of barred owls-which puts the spotted owl at risk-to the highly unusual appearance of arctic snowy owls in the Lower 48, which directly reflects the state of the vole population in the Arctic.

AsCalveztakes readers into the lives of these strange and majestic creatures, she also explores questions about the human-animal connection, owl obsession, habitat, owl calls, social behavior, and mythology. Hoot!
