When ecologist Carl Safina and his wife, Patricia, took in a near-death baby owl, they expected that, like other wild orphans they'd rescued, she'd be a temporary presence. But Alfie's feathers were not growing correctly, requiring prolonged care. As Alfie grew and gained strength, she became a part of the family, joining a menagerie of dogs and chickens and making a home for herself in the backyard. Carl and Patricia began to realize that the healing was mutual; Alfie had been braided into their world, and was now pulling them into hers. 650 7 $a Owls. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Rescue of animals. $2 Sears 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 941 $a 14 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013046.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240502012652.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045101.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240402011529.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025908.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011853.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240111060053.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020510.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231114010450.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011048.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231104011811.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013551.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231102012557.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231102010523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=824E612A67FB11EE94078C7E4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
