Lead shot injured and killed condors young and old, lead in the carrion they ate, lead in the bullets that hunters shot at them. By focusing on three case studies from a personal, memoir-oriented point of view, Osborn engages our imagination while informing our brain.

And, it is this spirit of acceptance, an embrace of this pristine wilderness and its inhabitants–even when he’s fording a river in icy slush up to his waist or waiting in bitter cold for a fish owl to come into a trap or getting lost in the middle of a snowy nowhere—that informs this book and brings us totally into his world.

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered.
