Birding Magazine's September issue features an excellent review of my Screech Owl Companion by noted naturalist and author Carl Safina, who really grasped what co-author Scott Weston and I were striving for.
Interestingly, print subscribers get a condensed review, and digital subscribers get a downloadable pdf of the magazine that includes a more in-depth review.
From Carl Safina’s review, print version:
* “The writing is so rich and delightful that one doesn't read the book so much as savor it.”
* “For screech-owl aficionados, The Screech-Owl Companion will be consulted for years to come.”
And here are a couple of highlights from the digital version:
* “For those of us who love screech-owls -- and I do (but who doesn't?) -- you'll want to secure for yourself this new book about how to attract screech-owls, keep them around, and much, much more.”
* "I was continually impressed at how, paragraph by paragraph, Wright and Weston cover new ground and reveal loads of new and interesting facts, all delivered clearly in graceful sentences."

Scott and I are delighted. My only wish is that Carl Safina had mentioned the great photography by Kevin Watson and others in our book, published by Timber Press.
