The Wise Hours: A Journey into the Wild and Secret World of Owls by Miriam Darlington
5.0
*I was given an eARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!*
An insightful memoir/doc on the species of owl common (and a few uncommon) in the UK. There's some overlap with our North American birds, so it's worth the read even if you aren't local to the author. I know some disliked the memoir aspect, but I enjoyed it even if I disagreed with some of Darlington's sentiments. I have a different perspective on conservation and wild animals from my work with raptor rehabilitation and falconry. I still appreciated her passion!
I learned a few things I didn't know. I'd recommend this if you love owls, birds, or nature in general.
