Our book this month is Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humansby John Marzluff and Tony Angell
Although this book is not a recent publication, it is a very worthwhile read. We’ve had John Marzluff speak to Whidbey Audubon several times. He is a Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington, and he has done fantastic work with crows.
Sy Montgomery, author of Birdology, said that John and Tony’s “amazing, true stories of crows who rage, grieve, give gifts, work together, and even design and use tools would be enough to make this book a great read…. one of the most exciting books I’ve read in a long time.”
