and observe eagles from a window." Ladi- 

 gin, a native of Moscow who has lived on 

 the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of 

 Russia for seven years, watches eagles the 

 hard way. He spends his days in igloolike 

 snow cabins on the edge of the lake for an 

 up-close view of the hundreds of eagles 



(Washington, D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks, 

 1990); and "Ancient Cultural Contacts 

 Between Ecuador, West Mexico, and the 



that congregate there in the winter. His 

 permanent residence, in a village on the 

 Bering Sea coast, is a log cabin, which he 

 shares with his anthropologist wife and 

 their four-year-old daughter. A graduate of 

 Moscow State University, Ladigin, cur- 

 rently on the staff of Kronotskiy State 

 Biosphere Reserve in Kamchatka, is com- 

 pleting his doctoral dissertation on adap- 

 tive radiation in birds of prey. In addition 

 to observing Steller's eagles, he has stud- 

 ied their cousins, bald eagles, in the Pacific 

 Northwest. Future projects include more 

 studies of the winter ecology of sea eagles. 

 Emulating his favorite study subjects, he 

 plans to raise his offspring far from the 

 press of civilization. More on bii'ds of prey 

 can be found in Vanishing Eagles, by 

 Phihp Burton, with paintings and draw- 

 ings by Trevor Boyer (Secaucus: Chart- 

 well Books, Inc., 1987). The natural his- 

 tory of bald eagles is the subject of Mark 

 V. Stalmaster's The Bald Eagle (New 

 York: Universe, 1987) and Jon Gerrard 

 and Gary R. Bortollotti's The Bald Eagle: 

 Haunts and Habitats of a Wilderness 

 Monarch (Washington, D.C.: Smithson- 

 ian, 1988).
