Wesley The Owl

This book is about biologist Stacey O'Brien and her 19 year relationship with Wesley, a barn owl she met when he was only four days old. Being a wildlife biologist, she learned first-hand about every aspect of owl rearing and behavior. Through out the book, the reader learns a lot about Wesley's idiosyncrasies and personality. A fast, entertaining read.
