Cheryl Aguiar has a strong connection with wildlife and a great love for exploring nature. This is the story of how she gains the trust of one of Mother Nature’s most magnificent and mysterious creatures…the Great Horned Owl. These majestic birds known as raptors have a reputation of being extremely aggressive, but show a different side when struck by tragedy. With some help from her husband, Cheryl’s devotion and determination to help this family of owls turns out to be one of the most gratifying decisions she has ever made. The strong-willed adult owl parents accept help from humans to keep their family safely together. Cheryl gives us an unprecedented look into the life of these wild birds while she closely documents the journey of these two adorable owlets as they grow and experience life in the wild. Through this experience, she witnesses the struggles of survival, the amazing bond of a family and the gift of gratitude. What makes this story special is to see how animals and humans from two different walks of life can co-exist and discover that we are not so different after all. By trusting each other, working together and showing each other respect, the family of owls allow her into their world; now, they have become a part of hers. Together, Cheryl, her family and these magnificent birds have proven ever more, the statement...Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way.
Never stop exploring ...with Mother Nature by your side, the possibilities are endless. ~ Cheryl Aguiar

You can tell from my blog that I LOVE owls. There is something very magical about them. I have always been fascinated with birds, since I was very little. My love of owls is, however, a bit newer. It was when I saw an owl in the wild for the very first time that the love of owls began. When you see an owl, in its natural surroundings, it is a humbling experience. I live in the city, but there are woods near by and I can hear owls hooting back and forth very late at night into the early morning. It is one of my all time favorite nature sounds, ever!!! Now onto the book...
It is a short book, but it is filled with heart. You will not help but be pulled into the story of this owl family...cheering them on and willing them to survive their struggles. Filled with pictures of the fuzzy and adorable owl family the story of the great horned owlets rescue will be one that will fill your heart with sheer joy because in the end it is about the human/animal bond that allows for amazing results. I am so totally in love with this story
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. Aristotle
