A field scientist and conservationist tracks the elusive Blakiston's Fish Owl in the forbidding reaches of eastern Russia.
I
saw my first Blakiston’s fish owl in the Russian province of Primorye, a
coastal talon of land hooking south into the belly of Northeast Asia . .
. No scientist had seen a Blakiston’s fish owl so far south in a
hundred years . . .
When he was just a fledgling
birdwatcher, Jonathan C. Slaght had a chance encounter with one of the
most mysterious birds on Earth. Bigger than any owl he knew, it looked
like a small bear with decorative feathers. He snapped a quick photo and
shared it with experts. Soon he was on a five-year journey, searching
for this enormous, enigmatic creature in the lush, remote forests of
eastern Russia. That first sighting set his calling as a scientist.
Despite
a wingspan of six feet and a height of over two feet, the Blakiston’s
fish owl is highly elusive. They are easiest to find in winter, when
their tracks mark the snowy banks of the rivers where they feed. They
are also endangered. And so, as Slaght and his devoted team set out to
locate the owls, they aim to craft a conservation plan that helps ensure
the species’ survival. This quest sends them on all-night monitoring
missions in freezing tents, mad dashes across thawing rivers, and
free-climbs up rotting trees to check nests for precious eggs. They use
cutting-edge tracking technology and improvise ingenious traps. And all
along, they must keep watch against a run-in with a bear or an Amur
tiger. At the heart of Slaght’s story are the fish owls themselves:
cunning hunters, devoted parents, singers of eerie duets, and survivors
in a harsh and shrinking habitat.
Through this rare glimpse into the everyday life of a field scientist and conservationist, Owls of the Eastern Ice
testifies to the determination and creativity essential to scientific
advancement and serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty, strength,
and vulnerability of the…
