Owls are fascinating birds, and the barn owl is one of the most intriguing members of the owl family. At home in many parts of the world, barn owls are expert hunters. Using their sharp hearing, they can find prey on the darkest night.
This book tells the story of some barn owls that live near a village in Europe. All the barns in the village have special "owl windows" so that the birds can come inside to make nests. The beautiful photographs were taken in a barn loft where a pair of owls was raising a family of five chicks. In amazing detail, the photos show the hard-working parent owls feeding, protecting, and caring for their fuzzy chicks. As the young owls grow, they develop sleek adult feathers and learn to fly. Soon they set off to be hunters on their own.
