    Owl: By William Service - Part I: A Family Welcomes a Fledgling

    "The size of a beer can...the personality of a bank president...adopted and raised by William Service, his wife and their three children; sibling rival to a dog, a cat, a turtle and a parakeet..."

    Owl is the story of an orphaned owl and the family who raised him, an educational account of not only a family but of a peculiar bird that doesn't quite belong.
