Common Ravens in North America
With Bill Webb, Ph.D. candidate, University of Washington

The Common Raven (Corvus corax) is not only the world's largest songbird
but likely the smartest as well. This class presents a wonderful
opportunity to learn about the natural history of ravens and will
consist
of a comprehensive two hour lecture here in Seattle. An optional field
trip is offered which will provide an introduction to the latest
research
occurring at the University of Washington's Olympic Natural Resources
Center in Forks, WA.. This optional field excursion, in rental vans,
will
allow us to observe ravens in the field, and to learn how UW researchers
trap and electronically track them, trying not to get out-witted!

Class: Thursday, October 2, 7:00-9:00PM
Location: CUH, Douglas Classroom
Cost: $20 members, $35 nonmembers
Limit: 40

Optional field trip: Saturday October 4th OR Sunday, October 5th ,
