Reviews
Terman's book combines an off-beat adventure story with pertinent observations on the nature-versus-nurture debate and stylistically wavers between scientific detachment and a more anthropomorphic tone... [He] is a skilled and dedicated animal behaviorist. The book is a unique and fine testament to long hours spent on the twilit Kansan prairie. --John Bonner, New Scientist This is a meticulously recorded scientific observation. But it's one appealingly interwoven with emotion and sentiment. In a word, it's readable, for ornithologist and layman alike... The strength of Terman's writing is an unaffected blend of feeling and precise scientific note-taking... It could well take its place among naturalist classics. --Keith Henderson, The Christian Science Monitor Terman gives an engaging account of his experiences in training and tracking a captive-reared great horned owl. --Publishers Weekly This book provides a readable, informative account of the intimate relationship between a college biology professor and ... an abandoned nestling great horned owl named Stripey... Ornithologists and bird watchers will enjoy reading this interesting book. --Wildlife Activist [A] wise and delightful account... --Library Journal
