The World of the Great Horned Owl

Good+ used hardcover in a good+ dust jacket.  Spotting to top edge of pages.  Small chips and tears to edges of DJ.

The authors of this book, two of our country's most practiced owl-watchers, describe the nature, appearance, and activities of the great horned owl, commonly called the hoot owl.  The story unfolds in superb narrative and pictures: the antic courting of the dignified birds... the chilly incubation period, during which the female, often covered with snow, sits on her eggs through high winds and violent storms... the hatching of the downy white owlets... the fledglings' first forays... and on through the year.
