FREE and open to all! Join the Linnaean Society of New York for its 7pm, 10/13 Zoom presentation, “The Salmon Eating Owls of Russia,” by Jonathan C. Slaght, a widely published American researcher and conservationist with the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Twenty years ago - Slaght encountered these rare, reclusive, eagle-sized owls in a southern region of Russia, the first documented sighting in over 100 years - and became totally enamoured. The study and protection of the magnificent Blakiston’s fish owl soon became his life’s work. Come learn about the extraordinary fieldwork and conservation efforts Slaght, and a team of Russian scientists, have undertaken to protect these magnificent creatures.
