All of Bernd Heinrich's books are great reading. Particularly Ravens
In Winter. Brilliant book which will change any notions you have about
Ravens to "totally endearing birds"....

While I do not have the time to go chasing the publications, the
claim to "In the first published account of wild animals recognising
individuals of another species," is not right. there have been
publications reporting the behaviour of birds and mammals which
learned to recognise individuals and behaved differently towards them.
One of Bernd Heinrich's books talks about ravens recognizing him and
about doing experiments to try to determine what they used to identify
him. If I remember correctly, the ravens in question were captive but
not tamed.
On a different note, I had this idea that I was going to subscribe to
this list while preparing for my trip to Australia then unsubscribe
after the trip was over. I've found that it is far too interesting to
unsubscribe from though. :-)
