Green Peeps Book Club: Owls of the Eastern Ice
Thursday, December 28, 2023
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Join this book club to discuss nature-focused reads each month. You'll also learn how to become more ecologically-minded through activities and speakers designed to enhance our reading. This month, we'll be reading one of the New York Times' most notable books from 2020, Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest to Find and Save the World's Largest Owl by Jonathan C. Slaght. We'll also be joined by WildCare Inc. and one of their animal Education Ambassadors. Age 18 and up. Please register.
Summary:
Perfect for bird-lovers or the owl-curious, Owls of the Eastern Ice brings us along to the border of North Korea and Russia, a place called Primoye where the elusive Blakiston's fish owl haunts the skies. Jonathan C. Slaght carefully recounts his four seasons in the field, hunting for glimpses of this near-mythical creature as he traverses the Russian wilderness. Come join us at the Downtown Library—it'll be a hoot!
