Alfie the Screech Owl

What an Owl Taught Me About Life

Time magazine article from the author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe.

Seems like an over-poetically worded plug for the book, but the owl is cute, as is the point of the story. The last paragraph was the best as serves as a good tl;dr.

Alfie remains our magical russet comet of the nighttime backyard. By day she usually roosts in a couple of favorite shaded spots. The choice is always hers. Free within limits; that’s the universe for you. It can inspire a life’s work. Or be as simple as a little owl in the porch light’s halo.
