Embark on an expedition into the heart of the Russian wilderness with Jonathan C. Slaght as he combines his passion for birdwatching with rigorous scientific research to locate and protect the majestic Blakiston's fish owl. 'Owls of the Eastern Ice' is not just an account of a rare species on the brink of extinction, but it is also a chronicle of personal transformation and dedication to conservation. Slaght guides us through the dense taiga forests, across icy rivers, and into the world of field research, revealing the challenges of wildlife conservation and the delicate balance of nature.
