Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest to Find and Save the World's Largest Owl by Jonathan C. Slaght
4.0
An interest in ornithology or the Russian Far East (and who even knew that was a place?!) is not necessarily a prerequisite for enjoying this book. A lot.
This engagingly written memoir traces the author's years spent wintering in the remote Russian wilderness tracking these unusual, dishevelled and endangered birds. At the same time it is a fascinating glimpse into some of the communities and personalities who populate this extraordinary region.
This is a compelling look at a region, people and wildlife I had no idea existed - and I loved it.
Remarkable.
