Their mission: to conduct the first-ever extensive study of the winter ecology of the Common Raven under the tutelage of biologist Bernd Heinrich.Drawing on field notes and personal diaries, they vividly and eloquently chronicle their three-year endeavor to research a mysterious and often misunderstood bird-assembling a gigantic aviary, climbing sentry trees, building bird blinds in the forest, capturing and sustaining 300 ravens as study subjects, and enduring harsh Maine winters in pursuit of their goal. They also shared the unique challenges and joys of raising, training, and racing the sled dogs that assisted them in their work.Accompanied by Evon Zerbetz's lovely linocut illustrations, Dog Days, Raven Nights is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the adventures of field science and an insightful exploration of the nature of relationships, both animal and human. 606 $aCorvus corax$xBehavior 606 $aCorvus corax$xPsychology 606 $aCorvus corax$xResearch$zMaine 606 $aSocial behavior in animals 606 $aDogs 615 0$aCorvus corax$xBehavior. 615 0$aCorvus corax$xPsychology. 615 0$aCorvus corax$xResearch 615 0$aSocial behavior in animals. 615 0$aDogs. 676 $a598.8/64 700 $aMarzluff$b John M$01521865 701 $aMarzluff$b John M$01521865 701 $aMarzluff$b Colleen$01580888 701 $aZerbetz$b Evon$f1960-$01580889 701 $aHeinrich$b Bernd$086899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789858603321 996 $aDog days, raven nights$93862107 997 $aUNINA
