Crows are all around us, shouting from lamp posts, poking around on lawns, and taking a bright-eyed interest in everything that moves. But most of us don't know much about them or their lives. In How to Know a Crow, award-winning author Candace Savage invites us into the fascinating world of these big, brash, and surprisingly brainy birds. From the moment baby crow Oki pokes her egg tooth through her shell and emerges into her nest, we are her constant companions. As we follow her through the seasons of her life, we explore how crows see and sense the world. How do they grow up? What are their families like? Do they communicate with one another? Can they use tools? How do scientists answer these questions? And how can we interact with crows and make discoveries of our own? Featuring gorgeous illustrations from Rachel Hudson that detail avian anatomy, growth, and behavior while also offering a unique perspective on a crow's world, How to Know a Crow is a memorable journey of discovery.
