Gifts of the Crow, with Dr. John Marzluff.
Zoom Evening Meeting, Tuesday, 4 April, 7:30 p.m.
Zoom waiting room opens 7:15 p.m.

Crows are mischievous, playful, social, passionate, and eloquent, with brains huge for their body size. They mate for life and associate with relatives and neighbors for years. And they know us. They live in our gardens, parks, and cities, they recognize our peculiarities, they avoid those who scold or threaten, they approach those who care for and feed them. They give us gifts. Humans and corvids have culturally co-evolved and we share the seven traits of language, delinquency, frolic, passion, wrath, risk-taking, and awareness.

With his extraordinary research on the intelligence and startling abilities of corvids—crows, ravens, and jays—scientist John Marzluff tells amazing stories of these brilliant birds and offer us an in-depth look at these complex creatures and our shared behaviors.

Dr. John Marzluff is a Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Studies. He earned his B.Sc. in Wildlife Biology, at the University of Montana, his M.Sc. Biology and his Ph.D. in Zoology, both at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff. He did Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Vermont.
Among his published materials he has written a book entitled Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans. He is, in his own words, “an enthusiastic teacher who thrives on the intellectual challenge of keeping a step ahead of highly motivated students.”
