The Woodsman The Owl And Jerry Gerbil

The owl & the woodsman, Dorsdorf, informs the child about the activity that goes on 24/7. When a child is asleep others are up and working. In this story it’s animals. The best analogy is Santa Claus; he’s delivering toys while they sleep. This can be expanded into different time zones Europe & seasons on the same day, Australia & North America. The gerbil teaches perception, being so small all people are giants in its eyes until he sits on a window sill of an office building 4 stories high and sees people as smaller. It’s a matter of perspective which he soon finds out when through a series of circumstances, he finds himself on the street with giants. He doesn’t ever get an explanation why he saw little people. The Child/s reader explains why the gerbil does not understand why the people and cars appear smaller because of height.

The eastern screech owl, widespread over the eastern half of North America and noticeably tolerant of human activity, is one of America's most familiar birds. Residing naturally in wooded environs with tree cavities, this owl lives well in suburbia and can be found nesting in mailboxes, porch columns, and purple martin houses. Based on a twenty-five-year study, biologist Frederick R. Gehlbach tells the life story of the eastern screech owl, focusing on case studies of suburban and rural study plots in Central Texas. This is the first thorough study of major life-history, behavioral, and ecological features of the species. Indeed, it is the first concurrent, comparative study of an urban and a rural population of any New World animal. Told in a personal voice, the story of these birds will interest all who have not lost touch with their ancestral world. However, Gehlbach has also included quantitative data and analysis of interest to ecologists, wildlife biologists, and ornithologists. Photographs (including color shots of the gray and rufous phases), figures, and tables provide further detail. Gehlbach's investigations have been those of not only an academic ecologist, but a suburbanite curious about his natural surroundings. The result is a model of research on species population dynamics and adaptation, yielding an emerging picture of what the eastern screech owl needs for successful coexistence with human neighbors.

The new Canid Action Plan synthesizes the current knowledge on the biology, ecology and status of all wild canid species, and outlines the conservation actions and projects needed to secure their long-term survival. Aiming at conservation biologists, ecologists, local conservation officials, administrators, educators, and all others dealing with canids in their jobs, the authors aspire to stimulate the conservation of all canids by highlighting problems, debating priorities and suggesting action.
