Crow talk set for Friday night in Forks
FORKS — A talk on crow behavior by doctoral student Kaeli Swift is set for Friday.
The free lecture will be at 7 p.m. in the Hemlock Forest Room of the Olympic Natural Resources Center, 1455 S. Forks Ave.
Refreshments will be served, and a potluck of a favorite dessert is encouraged.
Swift works under the guidance of Dr. John Marzluff, professor of wildlife-habitat relationships, avian social ecology and demography at the University of Washington’s School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
Her research follows that people have long reported observations of corvids — such as jays, magpies, crows and ravens — vocalizing and gathering around fallen comrades and having apparent ritual-like “funerals.”
The basis for her research is that crows — like a number of other animals including some primates, elephants, dolphins and other corvids — appear to perform funeral behaviors once they discover a dead member of their own species.
It is Swift’s hope that her team’s research will provide a more compassionate lens with which to understand crows and contribute to a growing movement of corvid enthusiasts.
For more information, phone Frank Hanson at 360-374-4556 or email fsh2@uw.edu.
