Owls of the Eastern Ice - Jonathan C. Slaght - First Edition H/B 1/2 (#72)

A conservation project cum adventure story
I bought this as a Christmas present for a friend. I first read it two years ago and loved it. The author decides to write his PhD thesis on the little known Blakiston fish owl whose habitat in the far east of Russia is fast disappearing because of logging activities in the region, thus threatening its very survival. It is anything but dry and reads like an exciting adventure story. I recently re-read it again and it was as compelling as the first time I read it.
