你从卧室窗外听见低沉的鸣叫，或是令人颤栗的尖啸，却全然不知窗外是谁，又在做什么。这条街的某个角落，一只猫头鹰正在捕猎，而你从未亲眼见过它的踪影。这部有声书追随猫头鹰的一生：从郊区屋顶的第一声啼鸣，到筑巢育雏、无声飞行、凭声捕猎、寒冬求生，直至领地传承。每章都始于一个真实的夜间场景——仓鸮、大雕鸮、灰林鸮、鸣角鸮或雪鸮——随后揭示某种看似不可思议的习性，例如通过高低错位的耳孔精准定位雪下的老鼠。每章末尾附有研究实证的简明小结，以及今夜即可实践的户外聆听练习。待到终章，你将不等走到窗前便能识得啼鸣者何鸮。点击播放，迈出门扉，侧耳倾听。You hear it from the bedroom window, a low hoot or a shivering screech, and you have no idea who is out there or what it is doing. Somewhere on your street an owl is hunting, and you have never once seen it.This audiobook follows the owl through its whole life, from the first call on a suburban rooftop through nesting, silent flight, hunting by sound alone, winter survival and the handing on of territory. Each chapter opens inside a real night scene with a barn owl, great horned owl, tawny owl, screech owl or snowy owl, then explains one behaviour that seems impossible, such as ears set at different heights that pinpoint a mouse under snow. Every chapter ends with a plain summary of what the research actually shows and a short listening exercise you can do outside tonight.By the last chapter you will know which owl is calling before you reach the window. Press play, then step outside and listen.
