Jonathan Slaght will join us on Zoom to discuss his work, Owls of the Eastern Ice. American researcher and conservationist Slaght takes us to the Primoriye region of Eastern Russia, where we join a small team for late-night monitoring missions, 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: careful hunters, devoted parents, singers of eerie duets, and irrepressible survivors in a harsh and shrinking habitat.
Registration is required. This program will be offered via Zoom. If you are new to Zoom, see these instructions on how to get started.
