Book excerpt: "What the heck are we doin' in the Yukon? We're lab rats, not explorers." Marty Relson Three American scientists, Mike McCord, his wife Donna and their business partner, Marty Relson, team up to search for the dietary ingredient that produces world class trophy moose in the Yukon Territory. If they can isolate the protein, the synthesized version could be worth millions as a replacement for growth hormones in beef cattle. To acquire the best specimens, the trio needed access to a wide variety of native vegetation, so Mike hired veteran outfitter and guide, Karl Thomas to provide a float trip down the famous Caribou River. Suffering from a recent back injury, Thomas assigned two native brothers, Little Eagle and Owl Eyes, to guide the American scientists. For various reasons, the young guides did not get along with the three Americans. "We woke up one morning and everything was gone," Donna explained. "They took everything. They took the canoes, the food, they even took our boots. Then they came back to kill us." The trio is forced to kill both native guides, which leads to criminal proceedings in the Canadian legal system. The younger brother, Owl Eyes, has the power of the Ancient Ones and, in the form of an apparition, nearly drives Marty Relson to a mental breakdown. As a spirit, Owl Eyes' appearances are usually preceded by the odor of rotting flesh and the temperature dropping to a clammy fifty degrees Fahrenheit. After several encounters with Owl Eyes the apparition, Marty is driven to the point of committing murder. Thinking he is finally free, Marty finds that Owl Eyes has even greater powers when he stuns Marty in the final chapter.

Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Download or read book Wesley the Owl written by Stacey O'Brien and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-08-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling memoir of a biologist’s life with an unforgettable owl “will captivate animal lovers” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On Valentine’s Day 1985, biologist Stacey O’Brien first met a four-day-old barn owl—a fateful encounter that would turn into an astonishing 19-year saga. With nerve damage in one wing, the owlet had no hope of surviving in the wild. O’Brien, a young assistant in the owl laboratory at Caltech, was immediately smitten, promising to give him a permanent home. Wesley the Owl is the funny, poignant story of their dramatic two decades together. With a tender heart and a scientist’s eye, O’Brien describes how Wesley grew from a helpless ball of fuzz to a gorgeous adult owl with an outsized personality. She also brings us inside her research community, a kind of scientific Hogwarts where resident owls flew freely from office to office and eccentric, brilliant scientists were extraordinarily committed to studying and helping animals. As O’Brien gets close to Wesley, she makes important discoveries about owl behavior, intelligence, and communication: he did not tolerate lies, held her to her promises, and provided unconditional love, though he was not beyond an occasional sulk. When O’Brien develops her own life-threatening illness, the biologist who saved the life of a helpless baby bird is herself rescued from death by the insistent love and courage of this wild animal.
