Do You Hoot? The Story of the Amity Owls

For six years I have had the privilege to watch a pair of Great Horned Owls raise their owlets in the Amity Creek Forest. One of the little birds  I named Hoot, and it became the focus of my children’s picture book, “Do You Hoot?”. I wrote and took all the photographs found in these books. Learn about me, Rich Hoeg.


Full version PDF downloads of all my books are free. You will find all 3 books and their PDF download links on this web page.
