trout fishin' ravens
 

Saw somethin' on the discovery channel this mornin' about ravens who
observed trout ice-fisherman positioning lines into a fishin' hole, only to
have them repeatedly pulled up by fish stealin' ravens.....

Ravens are clever animals. They can count and have a concept of numbers
up to 6 or 7 from what I remember.

The quote reads as follows and comes from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
somewhere in the mid- 1800s;
"If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be smart enough
to be crows."

Snakefiddler- didn't already know that- looked it up
:-)

Are there any crows left in that part of the world? I've heard the West
Nile virus got them all. We have crows, ravens and fish crows here. You
have to pracitcally kill them and run a DNA test to tell one fromt he other.
Crows are replacing some of the pigeons in town. They are much more
interesting to watch. We have a murder of crows that hang around the salt
mine, they bomb the parking lot with wallnuts.
Odin had two crows, if I think long enough I remember their names.

"Hunin" and "Munin". "Thought" and "Memory".

We have crows here, right now, in the Sawtooth Mountains of central
Idaho. They're just about the only bird that hangs around through the
winter. I think they survive on roadkill. They are very wary birds,
because Idaho has a year-long open season on crows. Why anyone would
want to shoot one is totally beyond me.

They are eaten from time to time here, but I'm not sure what the best recipe
is.
