The story of one biologist’s obsessive four-year search through the most unforgiving of habitats in Russia’s far eastern reaches to find and study the world’s largest owl
“For me, fish owls were like a beautiful thought I couldn’t quite articulate. They evoked the same wondrous longing as some distant place I’d always wanted to visit but didn’t really know much about.”Cover design: Alex Merto based on original design by Eva Gabrielsen. Owl art based on illustration by Rachel Ivanyi.
As we follow Dr Slaght’s story, we learn more about these owls; how bonded pairs sing duets, how pairs need huge old-growth trees to nest in, how these birds are devoted parents, and how they can catch fish in rivers in the middle of the harshest winters. Perhaps the best news of all is that conserving the owls also protects essential habitat for other endangered species, such as the Amur tiger, the world’s biggest big cat.
