He’s the sort who combines formidable scientific rigor with a sense of irony and an unslaked, boyish enthusiasm for his subject, and who even at his current professorial age seems to do a lot of tree climbing in the line of research. “Bernd Heinrich is no ordinary biologist. What started as mere curiosity turned into an impassioned research project, and Ravens In Winter, the first research of its kind, explores the fascinating biological puzzle of the raven’s rather unconventional social habits. /rebates/2fRavens-in-Winter-Bernd-Heinrich2fbook2f55556573fqsort3ddr&. Why should ravens-which are usually solitary birds-share valuable food in the dead of winter How clever are these birds Do they have a language These are some of the riddles that noted sociobiologist Bernd Heinrich, author of Bumblebee Economics and winner of the John Burroughs Medal, explores in this intriguing book.

On the surface, there didn’t appear to be any biological or evolutionary imperative behind the raven’s willingness to share. One of the most interesting discoveries Ive seen in animal sociobiology in years.
