"Essential Wisdom" of Crows


It's amazing how many volumes for public consumption have come out in recent years about crows or the avian corvid family they represent; a tribute to both the ubiquity, and the inherent fascination, of these brainy birds.

Now another new meditation and natural history on crows has arrived, "Crow Planet" by Lyanda Lynn Haupt. See HERE and HERE.

Haven't had a chance to read it myself yet, but looks promising.
