Holy Crow! An episode all about… Crows! with John Marzluff

At Home with Linda & Drew Scott

If you’ve been following along, you might have heard about his run-ins with the neighborhood crows! So to help him find a middle ground with these curious and intelligent creatures, we surprised Drew with guest, John Marzluff! John is a wildlife biologist, author and Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington. His research is focused on the social behavior and ecology of crows, jays and ravens.

John shares with us intriguing insight to help us better understand crows and to help us explore ways we can learn to live in harmony with our feathered friends!

He is a member of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Recovery Team for the critically endangered Mariana Crow, a former member of the Washington Biodiversity Council, a Fellow of the American Ornithologist's Union, and a National Geographic Explorer.

Read his book:

In Search of Meadowlarks: Birds, Farms, and Food in Harmony with the Land

https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300237146/search-meadowlarks

An ornithologist’s personal look at farming practices that finds practical solutions for sustainable food production compatible with bird and wildlife conservation

With predictions of a human population of more than nine billion by the middle of this century and eleven billion by 2100, we stand at a crossroads in our agricultural evolution. In this clear and engaging yet scientifically rigorous book, wildlife biologist John M. Marzluff takes a personal approach to sustainable agriculture. He travels to farms and ranches across North and Central America, including a Nebraska corn and soybean farm, California vineyards, cattle ranches in Montana, and small sustainable farms in Costa Rica, to understand the unique challenges and solutions to sustainable food production.

Agriculture and wildlife can coexist, Marzluff argues, if farmers are justly rewarded for conservation; if future technological advancements increase food production and reduce food waste; and if consumers cut back on meat consumption. Beginning with a look backward at our evolutionary history and concluding with practical solutions for change that will benefit farmers and ranchers, he provides an accessible and insightful study for the ecologically minded citizen, farmer, rancher, or conservationist.
