At our November 20th program, Dr. Douglas Wacker, Associate Professor of Animal Behavior at the University of Washington Bothell, shared fascinating research conducted with undergraduates to determine if crows might have something akin to language.

Watch this video as Dr. Wacker explained experimentation studies of crow vocalizations and the resulting data.
