I agree that this is a great course. And what a surprise! I live in the Washington, D.C. metro area, and whenever I see a crow, or a flock of crows, I usually stop whatever I'm doing, and wherever I'm going, to just watch. The course has given me a whole range of behavior/s to pay attention to. It's not that I knew nothing about crows, or ravens, before firing up lesson 1, but the course gives all us some perspective. I say that as somebody who decades ago, at the ages of 11 to 13, had a pet crow for  three successive summers. All in southern Indiana, where I was a lonely, only child with physically abusive parents. My crows were my best friends, not caged, but free to be the intelligent, creative, playful, and affectionate birds that they are. Their names were Pete, Repeat, and Three-peat. At the end of each summer, they were called by thousands of their mates from a large backyard tree to join them. And each of my crows did that. Bittersweet but always with my fondest best wishes. The course has brought back so many fond memories. I've gone through the lessons twice, and each time I learn something new. I want to look at the supplementary materials, too. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to all of you beginning, of course,  with Kevin McCowan.
