I’ve seen them gather as a roost in the summer, back at the aboretum by the UW, but not in nearly the same numbers. I don’t believe nesting crows roost during that season, but I will conduct my research – soon.

Also, have you heard of a roost on the south end? I’ve seen a mini-roost along Maplewild Drive near Three Tree Point.

I have to go see this!! How long do you think it will last? Why do they do this only in the winter, or is there a summer roost too?

I’m filled with questions…

Wow! Love it! What interesting images. And the music is perfect. That opening photo with the title would make a great book cover.Be careful—every writer you know will want you to make them a trailer, too! I know of one for sure…

I’ve often thought of how potentially smart dolphins are. If I remember correctly, they are the one creature that has a greater ratio of brain size to body weight than humans, and their brains have a greater density of furrows on the surface – both indications of intelligence. Hmmm… If we could only see as the dolphin does. I will look into this book. Thanks, Ellen.

Lovely and fun interview! I like how being in the mind of a crow forced you to write in a poetic voice.
