cynicusrex's review against another edition
3.0
Quite repetitive at times and one third too thick if you're merely interested in interesting facts about corvids. Also, the illustrations lose their detail in the paperback version.
Not a bad book. It just depends what you're looking for.

This book offers an overview over the research that has gone into the ravens and crows in North America. It is informative, entertaining, and this is definitely not the last book I read about crows, ravens and birds.

4.0
My coworker let me borrow his copy of this book after hearing that crows are my spirit animal. Absolutely worth a read if you have any interest in this most common of backyard wildlife - and cultural force to be reckoned with. Marzluff's style, while vivid and illuminating, can be a bit dry, so I found this to be a book I absorbed in small chunks at a time. However, the studies and observations he lists, the behaviors he describes, and the cultural coevolution he postulates are all fascinating and enlightening. I give this book a hearty recommendation for those looking to dig deeper into the corvid world.
