When zoologist Max Terman came to the rescue of a great horned owlet in a Kansas town park, he embarked on an adventure that would test his scientific ingenuity and lead to unprecedented observations of an owl's hidden life in the wild. "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 Kansan prairie."--John Bonner, New Scientist "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."--Keith Henderson, The Christian Science Monitor "Terman gives an engaging account of his experiences in training and tracking a captive-reared great horned owl."--Publishers Weekly "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."--Wildlife Activist
