Lasting friendship with an orphaned screech owl

Interwoven with Safina’s keen observations and insight, this is the story of the remarkable impact the rescue of a near-death baby owl would have on the lives of ecologist Carl Safina and his wife. The continuing bond of trust following the owl’s freedom—and her raising of her own wild brood—coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Witnessing all the fine details of their feathered friend’s life offered Carl and Patricia a view of existence from Alfie’s perspective.

One can travel the world and go nowhere; one can be stuck keeping the faith at home and discover a new world. Safina’s relationship with an owl made him want to better understand how people have viewed humanity’s relationship with nature across cultures and throughout history.
