Synopsis

House of Owls

About this title

Review:

"Two worlds of wisdom meet in "The House of Owls," nature's own in the survival of an owl family through the generations and the all-seeing eye of the artist who is their host and diarist. Tony Angell magnificently depicts this long mutual near-kinship and much more in words straight from the heart and illustrations masterfully true to life."--Ivan Doig, author of "The Whistling Season"

""The House of Owls" is, simply, a delight for a strigiphile like me. But it will also delight any birder or naturalist, and all those who care about the living world and its more remarkable manifestations."--From the Foreword by Robert Michael Pyle, author of "Chasing Monarchs" and "Mariposa Road"

The House of Owls is the apotheosis of a life-time s engagement with owls. Steeped in the tradition of Alexander Wilson and John James Audubon, it blends taxonomy, ornithology, biogeography and autobiography. Janette Currie, "TLS."--Janette Currie"TLS" (08/14/2015)"
