Download or read book Messages from an Owl written by Max R. Terman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. In Messages from an Owl, Terman not only relates his experiences nursing the starving owlet, "Stripey," back to health and teaching it survival skills in his barn, but also describes the anxiety and elation of letting a companion loose into an uncertain world. Once Terman felt that Stripey knew how to dive after prey, he set the owl free. At this point his story could have ended, with no clue as to what the young bird's fate would be--had it not been for Terman's experimentation with radio tags. By strapping the tags to Stripey, he actually managed to follow the owl into the wild and observe for himself the behavior of a hand-reared individual reunited with its natural environment. Through this unique use of telemetry, Terman tracked Stripey for over six years after the bird left the scientist's barn and took up residence in the surrounding countryside on the Kansas prairie. The radio beacon provided Terman with information on the owl's regular patterns of playing, hunting, exploring, and protecting. It enabled him to witness the moments when Stripey was bantered and mobbed by crows, when other owls launched fierce attacks, and when a prospective mate caught Stripey's eye. On occasional returns to the barn, the owl would follow Terman around as he performed chores, usually waiting for a handout. Until now, scientists have generally believed that an owl nurtured by humans becomes ill-adapted for meeting the challenges of life in the wild. Terman's research proves otherwise. Stripey surpassed all expectations by becoming a totally independent wild creature. With Terman, however, Stripey remained tame, allowing the author to explore something one rarely sees in owls: a warm interest in humanity. Terman engagingly re-creates this dimension of Stripey as he describes with humor and compassion the daily challenges of probing the life of a "phantom winged tiger." Originally published in 1996.

While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial—a frightening intruder. It’s a daunting duel by any measure.

Download or read book Owl Medicine written by Lisa JG. Weikel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owl Medicine is a narrative non-fiction adventure of self-discovery, inter-personal struggle, and intrigue. The story opens with the author’s discovery of a dead owl swinging upside down from a tree. Believing her discovery to be a message that shouldn’t be ignored, she seeks insight from a clairvoyant metaphysical ’teacher’ with whom she, her husband Karl, and a small group of friends have been studying. The teacher responds with surprisingly little insight and the author strikes out on her own to discover the message of the owl. Owl Medicine is unique because it introduces readers to valuable tools (Runes/Medicine Cards/dream exploration) for spiritual growth, while indulging the simple joy of getting lost in a good story. The single most unique feature of Owl Medicine, however, is its emphasis on the dynamics of Lisa and Karl’s spiritual growth as a couple and the crucial role that communication plays in their success. Owl Medicine is not so much a "how-to" book as it is a "See, this-really-can-be-lived!" affirmation. "Medicine Cards" is a trademark registered to David Carson and Jamie Sams.

Her husband is delighted. “You think this baby is going to be like you, but it’s not like you at all,” she warns him. “This baby is an owl-baby.” When Chouette is born small and broken-winged, Tiny works around the clock to meet her daughter’s needs. Left on her own to care for a child who seems more predatory bird than baby, Tiny vows to raise Chouette to be her authentic self. Even in those times when Chouette’s behaviors grow violent and strange, Tiny’s loving commitment to her daughter is unwavering. When she discovers that her husband is on an obsessive and increasingly dangerous quest to find a “cure” for their daughter, Tiny must decide whether Chouette should be raised to fit in or to be herself—and learn what it truly means to be a mother. Arresting, darkly funny, and unsettling, Chouette is a brilliant exploration of ambition, sacrifice, perceptions of ability, and the ferocity of motherly love.
