Reviews
I would recommend [Enter the Realm of the Golden Eagle] not only to eaglers but to any thinking person who has an interest in wildlife ... Tales of broken bones and/or blood-letting resulting from trying to study eagles up close and personal almost defy belief. This book not only contains a wealth of scientific learning about eagles but also contains the heart and soul of the eagler. David Ellis' dedication to unearthing eagle lore and single-minded pursuit of the golden eagle are truly amazing. -- Dr. Dena Sabin Dave Ellis is in a class by himself as a student of raptor biology with an especially strong interest in the golden eagle. He not only worked professionally in the United States as an eagle biologist, but more than any other person has travelled the world (often on a shoestring) to study the golden and other eagles on terrain and in conditions that few could physically and emotionally endure. I recommend the book highly to those folks interested in raptors or interested in the exciting work of those who professionally or recreationally study or train raptors. The book deals with some gory sections ... The detailed explanations of three-inch talons digging deeply into wrists and thighs of the human bander or handler might also be hard reading for the novice naturalist, but is certainly more real than any TV reality show. The book will be worth reading and enjoyed by anyone who truly wants to understand more about the avian world around them ...-- Dr. Matt Perry
Author Information
David H. Ellis grew up in eagle country in the Rocky Mountain West and was fascinated by golden eagles from early childhood. His PhD dissertation is the monograph on golden eagle behavior. He has lived in 16 US states and has visited all of them, as well as more than 50 nations, generally in pursuit of bird (mostly raptor) research. These travels involved work with harpy eagles in Central and South America, bald and golden eagles in Alaska and Canada, and golden eagles in the US, Japan, Siberia, and, most of all, Mongolia. His falcon research focused on pallid falcons in Patagonia, saker falcons in Mongolia, and peregrine populations in Arizona. His publications exceed 200 articles, chapters, or books, and include three volumes on crane research.
