>Diane Boyd and Kyran Kunkel are PhD. students studying the wolf packs that
>have been naturally recolonizing northwestern Montana from Alberta and
>British Columbia. They have been working intensively in Glacier National
>Park, especially along the north fork of the Flathead River. During their
>study, they have found at least 10 ravens killed by wolves at ungulate
>kills, and 4 golden eagles killed by wolves. The eagles were all full of
>meat, and appeared to heavy to take off. None of the eagles were eaten by
>the wolves. Some of the ravens were consumed or partially consumed by the
>wolves, while others were apparently toyed with, or simply killed and not
>eaten. Does anyone know of studies of corvids killed by canids at
>carcasses? If you do, I will forward that information to Diane and Kyran.
>
>Also, I have heard anecdotes of ravens in the northwest territories
>leading wolves or native hunters to game (caribou, moose) during the
>winter. The anecdotes have suggested that the ravens behave rather
>similar to honey guides, and give unique calls to lead the hunters to the
>quarry. I have not been able to verify this information. Can anyone help
>me out?
