The American Crow and the Common Raven

This is a nature series written by a scientist, so it's dry. Some reviews here: "" . . . remarkable behaviors are reviewed and discussed with a rich assortment of anecdotes from the author's 8,000 hours of field observations. . . . This book explains especially the social systems of these birds, from cooperative breeding to predator mobbing. Difficult topics such as 'play' and 'thinking' in crows are interestingly and critically presented. . . . an appealing volume." --Choice"

All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you are into crows like I am.
