Book Cover Design by Geneviève Raîche-Savoie

Synopsis: Robert Butler, one of Canada’s leading ornithologists, tells his true-to-life half century story of scientific exploration into the social life of one of the world’s most fascinating birds: the crow. Murder, affection, thievery and loyalty, the Society of Crows is an avian melodrama and a scientific detective story. Backed up by the latest research, Butler takes the reader deep into the social lives of the crow to answer age-old questions about them and ourselves.

​

Book Illustrations: Society of Crows is illustrated by Butler’s pen and ink drawings such as the one below. He is a Signature Member and Advisor of Artists for Conservation.

“An important story that reveals as much about the workings of a leading scientific mind as the mysterious crow.”
