Added to all those questions is one of my own. I've just emailed you links to both RM Vaughan's interview in today's G&M with the woman who made the documentary on crows and to the video clip from the film, which will air on CBC's The Nature of Things Sunday Oct. 11. According to the clip, "crows are to be found in every part of the planet except Antarctica", so I wonder if you have seen any in the park. From a website on the Corvidae I did find out a little about the Australian crow (Corvus orru), which is found in Tasmania but doesn't breed there. You know how fond I am of crows (and I have yet to tell you about my raven experience at Banff) so please pass my greetings on to Corvus orru. -- Norma

Hi Norma,
ReplyDeleteThere are actually no crows in Tasmania itself, I'm told, only the Forest Raven, which I've seen around Hobart and in the high country past Shadow Lake here, and the Little Raven, which if I remember correctly is a recent arrival and found only in the more northern parts of Tasmania.
