Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the
native fauna of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths
about these bird indicates that people have been exceptionally interested in them for a
long time. On the other hand, when it comes to substantive-particularlybehavioral-
information, crows are less well known than many comparably common species and
for that matter, not a few quite uncommon ones: The endangered California
condor, to cite one obvious example.There are practical reasons for this.
Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research. Keen
observers and quick learners, they are astute about the intentions of other creatures,
including researchers, and adept at avoiding them. Because they are so numerous,
active, and monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish one crow from another.
Bands, radio transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to them, but
this of course requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most
untrappable of birds.
Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of these birds
are so complex and various. As preeminent generalists, members of this species

ingeniously exploit a great range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly
adjust to changes in their circumstances. Being so educable, individual birds have
markedly different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For example, one
pet crow learned how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door.
When the dog escaped, the bird went into the kennel and ate its food.

which crows are identified.
