Noted Canadian author and conservationist Farley Mowat, of Never Cry Wolf fame, passed away last week. I just found out about it--it didn't make the news around here.
NY Times obituary

Not mentioned in the obituary is the book that got all my kids reading fluently (in grades 2-3), Owls in the Family, It's about his boyhood adventures in Saskatchewan with two great horned owls and is really funny! Great read for adults, too!
