Caw of the Wild


 

Crows are fascinating and intelligent. It isn't that easy to figure out what they do and where they go, because they can fly and we can't. I tracked several crow families in my neighborhood, trying to understand everything I could about their lives. Balancing my own acknowledged anthropomorphic leanings with research rooted in science, I began to see a story emerge from the journal notes I kept to try to understand them. I didn't expect anyone to care much about crows, but what I found was a vast community of people with the same keen interest I have.
