Marzluff has talked about this for years, I'm glad he actually studied it. If I ever get off my butt and into the UW, he'd be one of my instructors. I really want that. ^_^
I've also known this for a long time, personally, too. It's like how the birds at the one place I often eat lunch know they can come bug me for food and will sit on the table with me. So comforting, in odd ways.
"Why crows and similar species are so closely attuned to humans is a matter of debate." Don't debate. Go ask de Lint. These researches have obviously never heard of the Crow Girls, or Raven. Hmph.
