About This Item

This book has been read, minor wear to edges of covers from normal storage, some stickers as previous library book. Some markings inner first pages. Spine intact, some creases. "With the same warmth and affection that charmed the thousands of readers of his two previous books, Gifts of an Eagle and Flight to Freedom, Kent Durden here brings wonderfully alive a bevy of delightful creatures he has encountered-and sometimes adopted-from the time he was a boy through his professional career as a wildlife filmmaker for Walt Disney. Here are memorable episodes with: -a pair of river otters that terrorized the neighbors next door; -the gray fox whose bushy tail became the perfect target for the resident hawk; -"Hey Boy," the black raven whose favorite hobby was collecting socks from clotheslines; -a pair of flying squirrels who made their home in the cockpit of a model airplane ... and many more endearing, unpredictable animals. Kent Durden describes them all with the special knowledge and gentle humor of a man who is devoted to wildlife, who can skillfully share his delightful observations with nature lovers of all ages." Good Reads "Kent Durden (1937–2007) was a wildlife photographer, documentarian, and writer best known for his acclaimed book Gifts of an Eagle (1972), an account of his family's sixteen years caring for a golden eagle named Lady."

About Ohkwaho Books and Fine Art

Welcome to Ohkwaho Books and Fine Art. We are a small family-run, independent book-seller looking to share our passion for the written word with the world. We specialize in historical fiction, non-fiction and children's fiction. Above all we value integrity and transparency and are looking for ways to connect with other bibliophiles. Our resident artist is a proudly Metis youth, working to regain connection with his Metis heritage, and much of his passion for social justice and reconciliation may be envisioned within his art. We offer a wide variety of books for sale, both gently used and new. We are also very thrilled to announce availability of a limited number of prints and original artwork by Baz. In addition, we are always happy to connect with you to discuss commissions and other types of requests. Please reach out and let us know how best we can work with you! We look forward to hearing from you.
