Pub Talk: Clever, Curious, and Charismatic Crows

Cairn Brewing is proud to host Friends of North Creek Forest in the taproom with a featured presentation:

Clever, Curious, and Charismatic Crows – Dr. Loma Pendergraft, UWSeattle

The antics of crows, ravens, and other members of their taxonomic family—a group called Corvids—have captivated our imaginations throughout history. Many of our myths, legends, and stories revolve around the astonishing brainpower these birds possess. But what is fact and what is fiction? Here we will discuss fun facts about crows, the capabilities (and limits) of their intelligence, and the research that scientists at the University of Washington have conducted on these fascinating birds.

Loma Pendergraft earned his Ph.D. studying crow behavior at the University of Washington. His research has been featured in Audubon Magazine, National Geographic, and Bill Nye Saves the World. He currently works for the UW as an instructor of animal behavior and wildlife science. Visit his website at https://lomapendergraft.com.

Our pub talks are informal & held in our taproom--bring a friend or neighbor to learn more about environmental issues in our community.

FNCF's team will be in the taproom to talk about their mission and share how you can get involved.
