Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest to Find and Save the World's Largest Owl

A captivating adventure tale in a far-off land, in pursuit of a rare and endangered owl with a 6-foot wingspan and a body resembling a "yearling bear", covered with patches of feathers. Who can resist that sense of quixotic romance? But equally moving, and very much the heart of this lovely book, is the story of Slaght's abundant passion for the discipline, patience and rigor of a conservationist's conservations and detailed fieldwork in service to nature.
