Summary:
"It's June on Alaska's North Slope, and researcher Denver Holt is in northernmost town in the United States, Utqiagvik, searching for nesting snowy owls. Denver has been coming to Utqiagvik since 1992, and the owls he's studying have been coming here much longer: thousands of years. With its perfect mix of coastal, low-elevation tundra and at times an abundance o lemmings, the North Slope is the only area in Alaska where snowy owls regularly nest and raise their chicks. Follow Denver as he works through the twenty-four-hour daylight of the Arctic summer studying everything from the number of chicks in each nest (sometimes as many as six or eight) to what the owls are eating (mostly lots of lemmings!). And with the Arctic getting ever warmer, learn how it's becoming harder and harder to predict how things will play out. How do snowy owls decide if they will nest? How do they manage to arrive at locations where food will be abundant? What drives these delicate tundra ecosystems? These are the mysteries Denver is trying to solve. Alongside Mark Wilson's detailed in-the-field reporting and striking photography, the story of these dazzling hunters is brought to readers everywhere south of the Slope."-- Publisher. Amazon.com.
