Very Good used hardcover. Slight foxing to top edge of pages. Small chips and signs of fading to dust jacket. Price clipped on inside DJ.

Tony Angell pays tribute, with text and striking line drawings, to corvids, and describes the unique behavioral qualities that set them apart from other species.

The author first gives a basic description of each of the eighteen corvid species occurring within the United States, including size, color, habitat, and breeding patterns. He then details their distinctive behavioral traits. Of special interest is the chapter dealing with the wide range of responses that corvids have evoked throughout history.

Raven, Crows, Magpies, and Jays paints a vivid picture of these fascinating birds and of their relationships with one another, with other species, and with man.

Beautifully illustrated by the author.
