Owl
A Year in the Lives of North American Owls
Paul Bannick
Follow North American owls through the course of one year as they move through each stage of their life: courtship, mating, and nesting in spring, feeding of young and fledging in summer, dispersal and gaining independence in fall, and finally, migrating and competing for food in winter. Paul Bannick documents how owls overcome each season’s challenges by using resources available to them in their habitat.
