In honor of Superb Owl Sunday 2019, I can’t think of a more appropriate new book to bring to everyone’s attention than James Duncan’s lavishly illustrated Owls of the World. Presenting the life histories of a fascinating variety of the world’s 240 different species of owl, Dr. Duncan, Director of the Wildlife and Fisheries Branch of the Government of Manitoba, and founder of Discover Owls, makes it very easy to understand how these remarkable birds have been the focus of so much interest by so many down through the centuries.
