Gifts of an Eagle

The Remarkable Story of a Bird and Her Family

About this book

New York Times Bestseller: The "extraordinary" true story of a golden eagle adopted by a California ranching family, and how she changed their lives (Delia Ephron).
In 1955, Ed Durden brought a baby golden eagle home to his ranch in California, where she would stay for the next sixteen years. As her bond with Ed and the Durden family grew, the eagle, named Lady, displayed a fierce intelligence and strong personality. She learned quickly, had a strong mothering instinct (even for other species), and never stopped surprising those who cared for her.
 
An eight-week New York Times bestseller, Gifts of an Eagle is a fascinating up-close look at one of the most majestic creatures in nature, as well as a heartwarming family story and "an affectionate, unsentimental tribute" ( Kirkus Reviews).
