Science writer Jennifer Ackerman, author of several books about birds, has turned her attention to the bird world’s most mysterious — and charismatic — member. Her latest,“What an Owl Knows,” was inspired by a series of questions: Do owls have feelings and emotions? What about personalities? We say they’re wise, but how smart are they, really? Once “owls set her mind a-whirr with questions,” Ackerman knew she had to find out. She’ll share with us what she learned, and what owls have to tell us about their nature — and our own.
