Take all nineteen of the North American Owl species, toss in interesting aspects of their life history, sprinkle with some of the historical myth and mystery surrounding these nightbirds, then wrap it all up in the author's personal experiences attempting to see and photograph all members of this special family of birds. This is a recipe for a great read, equal parts natural history, humor, obsession, and social commentary.
Ornithologists beware. Owls Rock is not science. It does not specify how to find owls, how to identify them, nor what makes them tick. It speaks more to what makes us tick, why owls prey upon our minds, why we look for them, and how they make us who we are. Owls are special amongst birds. They are wisdom, they are dreams, they are death. Enjoy the journey. Owls rock.
