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-particularly behavioral-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 ungraspable 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.

C. The amount of research that has been conducted on crows.
D. The ease with which crows are identified.
Câu 58. In line 6, the author mentions the endangered California condor as an example of a species
that is ..............
A. smaller than the crow. B. easily identifiable.
