Hard cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. An eminent ornithologist here offers a wealth of information on all living corvid members. Derek Goodwin first covers nomenclature as well as adaptive radiation and plumage. He then gives an account of many aspects of crow behavior. He discusses sociability and flocking, communal roosting, threat and fighting, and self-assertive display. Also described are their reaction to the sick and injured, their individual differences, their nesting habits and care of the young, and their voice and vocal mimicry. Crows are familiar birds to almost everyone. They are a wide-ranging group whose activities often bring them into contact with man, frequently to their detriment. However, they are a successful family, both in terms of numbers and species, which includes the Blue Jay and Magpie of North America, the Rook of England, the House Crow of India and the Little Raven of Australia. They exhibit great diversity in color, size and patterns of behavior. Seller Inventory # SKU2010025842
