You see them feeding along the sides of roads or flying to the tops of trees. They are known as common crows, but there is nothing common about them. The familiar sound of "caw, caw, caw" is just one of at least twenty-five distinct sounds crows make in order to communicate with one another. Laurence Pringle examines these remarkable creatures in a fact-filled text that explores how crows talk, behave, and survive. With beautifully detailed illustration by Bob Marstall, young readers get a fascinating look into the world of one of the smartest birds on earth in this winner of the John Burroughs Nature Books for Young Readers Award.

"The information about where crows live, what they eat, how they hunt, mate, nest, raise their young, protect themselves, migrate and so on through the seasons is presented in an immediate simple style that brings the reader up close to many birds in forests, fields and city streets - Booklist"
