Crows have always fascinated me. They are part of the corvid family, which also includes ravens, magpies, jackdaws, rooks, treepies, choughs, nutcrackers and jays; however, crows are considered more advanced in their overall intelligence than the other birds within the corvid species. Their tenacious and raucous behavior, problem-solving ability, distinctive memories and potential to feel compassion are considered extraordinary by research scientists. ~ Nancy Harris, South Portland
