HOW TO SPOT AN OWL by Patricia & Clay Sutton (Chapters: $14.95; 143 pp., paperback original). In this upbeat guide, the Suttons remove some of the aura of mystery from owls, explaining why the birds fly silently and how the flattened facial disc reflects sound to the sensitive ears (an owl can hear a mouse moving under several inches of snow). Although many of the tips on observing these intriguing predators seem directed at East Coast residents, Southern Californians could adapt them to watch the local great horned, Western screech and barn owls.
