Night Birds Book

Owls have fascinated and enchanted people for millennia, but scientists have only recently begun to understand the complex nature of these exceptional birds.Today, thanks to new technologies, researchers are finally unlocking their secrets: their way of communicating, their ability to visualize sounds, their silent flight... This book tells the extraordinary story of our understanding of owls, their biology, their brains and their behavior, and details surprising facts: some nocturnal birds of prey live in underground burrows, others roost in large groups, some adopt young orphans, others feed on black widows and scorpions, and still others are able to hear the imperceptible rustling of a vole under more than a meter and a half of snow.
