Caw of the Wild

Barb Kirpluk

"Caw of the Wild" is an in-depth exploration into the intriguing and complex behavior of one of North America's most intelligent, but often reviled, birds-the American Crow. As a passionate observer, author Barb Kirpluk shares her extraordinary and fascinating findings while tracking three urban crow families through their daily existence. By befriending the birds and gaining their trust, Kirpluk shares many observations on subjects such as:

The language of crows
Crow habits and social relationships
The endearing personal relationships that evolved and allowed her to learn from the birds

Kirpluk brings to life the unforgettable characters of these birds by combining anecdotal tales and recent scientific literature. Her quest eventually leads her to the world of wildlife rehabilitation where, for a year, she studies and catalogues a group of captive crows.

"Caw of the Wild" is an honest and heartfelt portrayal of a misunderstood bird, and may just encourage you to take a new look at the American crow.
