We humans learn some of our earliest life lessons from our brothers and sisters, watching what toys our siblings play with and what treats they stash away for later. In this Halloween season podcast, Ari Daniel Shapiro journeys to Austria to learn how such social learning happens in a spooky bird—the raven. Image Credit:

In late February I was fortunate to find a gathering of Ravens consisting of over 200 birds! The birds wheel and dive, roll, spin and generally show off, many holding twigs and sticks in their beaks while they fly. Their acrobatics took my breath away, and this recording is some of the wing sounds of one those wild flights.

A hapless Raven (Corvus corax) sits in a Piñon Pine in Sedona, Arizona. He has been "pinned" here by a pair of Phainopeplas, which alternately sit a foot above his head, waiting for him to fly so they can harrass him again. The first three plaintive notes are him begging for mercy, and the final set of "caws" is when he gives up, flying away and making as much noise as possible ("Maybe", he thinks," if I'm really noisy, they'll leave me alone"...he was wrong!)
