Bumping this in case Corvus and Brachyrynchos haven’t seen it.
(My God, of the 5 threads I’ve opened/posted to in the last week, 3 are dead! Stop me before I kill again!)

Very nice link, **TroubleAgain**. thanks! Here’s another link to [New Caledonian Crow researcher](http://www.psych.auckland.ac.nz/psych/research/Evolution/Gavin.htm). It’s a simple research summary page (I believe he was the first to report the tool-use in the wild), but it’s got a cool stamp toward the bottom that shows the crow in action, with a few of the tools.
Crows and their ilk are terrific birds to work with, but very frustrating. If you catch them, they’ll remember you so many of us wear disguises. I didn’t, and haven’t cannon-netted crows at Cook College for several years (they all became too trap-wary), and yet they STILL recognize me, screaming crow epitaphs at me when they see me.
And their babies have the cutest blue eyes. 🙂
