An Owl at Sea<\/a>
\nby Susan Vande Griek (Author) and Ian Wallace (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> The true story of a Short-eared Owl that plummeted onto the deck of an oil rig in the North Sea, one hundred miles from shore told in a prose poem. Weak and tired, it huddled on the deck until riggers provided it with a makeshift shelter and fresh meat to eat. When a helicopter arrived to transport some of the workers back home, they took the owl with them, handing it over to the Scottish SPCA. A few weeks later the owl was strong enough to be released into the countryside. An author\u2019s note includes information about the Short-eared Owl, a bird found in the Americas, Europe and Asia, whose numbers may be in decline due to loss of habitat.<\/em><\/p>\n
