Publisher's Synopsis

Flaco captured the country's imagination with his surprising flight toward freedom, but he's not the first owl to experience the wonders of city life. National Geographic host Christian Cooper shares more about these incredible urban birds and the fame that found them.

Lifelong birder Christian Cooper introduces us to the majestic owls that have made New York City their home. Learn about Flaco, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl that captured all our hearts, Barry the Barred Owl, Geraldine the Great Horned Owl, and Rocky the Saw-whet Owl. 

With robust backmatter that provides more details on owl characteristics, hoots, and conservation, The Urban Owls will help foster love for wildlife in our youngest generation.
