In urban and suburban neighborhoods, it seems like crows are everywhere – retrieving food from our garbage cans, digging up our lawns, even pooping on us. These clever corvids have a long history of interacting with humans, and possess an incredible intellectual capacity for identifying those they can trust. Here we talk to Loma Pendergraft of UW’s Avian Conservation Lab to learn more about crow cognition and understand why he has to disguise himself while studying crows in the field. You can learn more about Loma’s work on his website (https://www.lomapendergraft.com/).
