Monday, April 18, 2011 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM "The surprising behavior of crows" by John Marzluff (online flyer: http://goo.gl/6jwqy) Do crows really talk, give gifts, and use surfboards? Of course they do, and so much more! During this seminar, John will explore and discuss some of the amazing feats that crows and ravens are reknown for, investigating their biological bases and implications for how we share the world with another species that often gets our ire. Much of what John will discuss stems from the contributions of citizen observers.
