Posted by V in Culture, Current Corvids | 0 comments

Crows and Ravens of California is an overview of the world-wide Corvid Family (crows, ravens, jays + their kin), with a specific focus on the four Bay Area resident species, plus a fifth that may be establishing a population there. A sidebar will give guidelines for distinguishing the local American crow from its larger cousin, the northern raven. A brief look at other California species will precede a look at the corvids’ most amazing adaptation: their remarkable intelligence – are they avian geniuses? Discussion to follow.
