In my years photographing wildlife, I learned that nature is pragmatic and logical. Crows are very consistent, and they expect the same. Patience is the key to this type of work, and the crows astonished me. They were as intelligent as dolphins, and they trained me well. I learned the meaning of their caws, cackles and coos and I was able to respond to what they needed, even what type of food they wanted. They were patient with me as I tried to understand what they said, and eventually they would just come and hang out with me, not always to eat.
I felt quite honored to establish a respectful connection with another species which was just as intrigued as I was.
