Owls in our yard! : the story of Alfie / Carl Safina.
"Some kind of baby bird. Barely alive. No nest in sight. This was how Carl Safina first found Alfie, a tiny, abandoned screech owl chick. Her fluff was filthy and full of deadly parasites, and she was weak, still too young to fly. Carl brought baby Alfie home, where he and his family nurtured her, kept her safe, and began teaching her to be a wild owl. Soon, Alfie was flying, hunting for food, and exploring the boundaries of her world. But instead of flying away, she made a home there, finding a mate and raising a family. Carefully observed by a celebrated nature writer, and documented with stunning--and adorable--photographs, Owls in Our Yard! is the beguiling true story of a rescued owl that stayed to become a wild neighbor, bringing joy, magic, and a touch of wisdom to a family's backyard."-- Front flap.
