Owls Of The Eastern Ice: A Quest To Find And Save The World's Largest Owl

"Like the best nature writing, this is a book fueled by obsession – with both Russia’s remote, forested Primorye Province and with the endangered, oversized, salmon-eating raptor called Blakiston’s fish owl that lives there. Part wilderness adventure, part patient scientific research, part doctoral fieldwork and wholly engaging narrative nonfiction, Owls of the Eastern Ice is filled with daunting, frigid challenges and the rare birds and colorful characters who brave them."
