商品簡介
A field scientist and conservationist tracks the elusive Blakiston's fish owl in the forbidding reaches of eastern Russia
The Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest species of owl on earth, found only in the far northern regions of Russia, Japan, and Korea, is also perhaps the most mysterious. Only a handful of scientists have attempted to study them, but a chance sighting changed the course of Jonathan C. Slaght’s life―sending him on a five-year journey to study these enigmatic creatures.
In Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest to Find and Save the World's Largest Owl, the American researcher and conservationist Slaght takes us to the Primorye region of eastern Russia, where we join a small team for late-night monitoring missions and on mad dashes across thawing rivers; drink vodka with mystics, hermits, and scientists; and listen to fireside tales of Amur tigers. Most captivating of all are the fish owls themselves: vicious hunters, devoted parents, singers of eerie duets, and irrepressible survivors in a harsh and shrinking habitat.
A rare glimpse into the everyday life of a scientist and the subjects of his deep fascination, Owls of the Eastern Ice is a testament to the determination, creativity, and resolve required by field research and a powerful reminder of the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the natural world.
