This was fascinating. And true. The author was a scientist working within Caltech's aviary, where she was given a 4 day old hatchling to take home to parent and learn about barn owls in a very intimate way. Thus began a 19 year relationship that required more sacrifices than most humans will ever have to make for their children. I will think about this book for the rest of my life.
