I found this fair-condition hardcover at a local Goodwill thrift shop, and couldn't resist it. I'm fond of owls - though I don't think I'd like the responsibility of caring for one full-time - and found this tale quite touching, though there are the inevitable sad bits. (The author herself calls this out - she says she often reads the end of animal-story books to get the "...and then it died..." bit over with, and warns the reader to stop if they don't want to reach that part.) Wesley had an amazingly long life for a barn owl, and while it wasn't always perfect he seems to have got on well with his person - and, late in the book, was responsible for keeping her motivated to keep living herself, when she began to suffer mini-strokes.
Lots of photos, lots of info about owls-in-the-wild vs. birds-in-rehab, and touching details on how people and animals can sometimes relate...

I plan to leave this book, bagged against the elements, on a bench or hanging from a tree in Greeley Park (depending on how deep the snow is!) at around 3; hope the finder enjoys it!
