“One of the most interesting discoveries I’ve seen in animal sociobiology in years.” — E.O. WilsonWhy do ravens, generally understood to be solitary creatures, share food between each other during winter? On the surface, there didn’t appear to be any biological or evolutionary imperative behind the raven’s willingness to share. The more Bernd Heinrich observed their habits, the more odd the bird’s behavior became. What started as mere curiosity turned into an impassioned research project, and

Review: “Ravens in Winter” is about solving a biological puzzle: “Do common ravens, ‘Corvus corax,’ actively disclose to strangers of their species the valuable and rare food bonanzas that one of them is lucky enough to find?”In order to solve his self-discovered mystery, Bernd Heinrich spent four winters in the woods of Maine and Vermont, hauling eight tons of dead animals to bait stations in the midst of howling blizzards. All in the name of fun — -I mean, science.This is one of the best, most exuberant books I’ve ever read on how an academic field biologist actually solves a scientific conundrum. The only other book I can compare it with is Farley Mowat’s “Never Cry Wolf.” Mowat was dropped alone onto the frozen Canadian tundra, where he studied the ways of wolves. Heinrich spent his winters in a tiny tarpaper shack in the Maine wilderness, galumphing through thigh-deep snow with a hundred pounds of cow entrails slung over his back, in order to study the ways of ravens.Maine Ravens are almost exclusively carrion eaters, so in order to lure them to his observation posts the author had to feed them. He also had to crawl out of his half-frozen sleeping bag (the tarpaper shack had no amenities such as central heating) at 5:30 in the morning in order to beat the ravens to their frozen breakfast, because they are such notoriously wary birds. One false move or sound from him would send them winging away from his bait, sometimes never to return.Heinrich makes all this sound like wonderful good fun. He periodically lured his graduate students and friends up into the endless forest and through the blizzard to help him trap and band ravens.I wish I had been one of his students. Ever since I became acquainted with ravens during a canoe trip through the Northwest Territories, I’ve been curious about these elusive and complex corvids. Heinrich’s working diary more than satisfies that curiosity. The text of this book was derived from his field notes, and he doesn’t omit any of his observations, or any of his hypotheses whether they led to dead ends or not — -that was part of the fun.After reading “Ravens in Winter,” I wanted to go out and do my own field observations — -except that I can’t quite see myself crawling like Heinrich from privy to tarpaper shack in the midst of a snowstorm, so as not to disturb the ravens at their breakfast.Now that crows have returned to Detroit (I never used to see them in the city when I was a kid), maybe ravens will be soon to follow. Then I can observe them from the comfort of my centrally-heated living room.

Review: It was fascinating to follow the observations of the scientist and his daily activities as he tried to figure out what the ravens were doing and why. He also points out various theories of why this behavior is happening and why his observation further each idea or disprove it. You feel you are watching right over his shoulder on this discovery trip.

Review: I loved this book. I have a pr of ravens nesting near us and have been so fortunate to see them quite close up several times and to witness their acrobatic flight. This book explained alot of things for me about their behavior, lifestyle and appearance. I admired the authors devotion to getting out there in the cold to live with them and study them. I thought this book a great read.

Review: Since Bernd Heinrich is the absolute best and most knowledgable of the subject of Ravens, how can this book fail? This is my favorite of all of his writings. This man knows from living experiences what he is writing for us to enjoy! I could not put this book down…It will capture you also.
