- Angell, Tony. 1978. Ravens, Crows, Magpies, and Jays. Seattle: University of Washington Press. @crows.net
- The unique thing about this book is that it is filled with excellent illustrations (pen and ink?), Each one page description of a species is accompanied by a full page iullustration and the sections on behavior and communication have illustrations on virtually every page. A good reference book on the Corvidae and a masterpiece of biological illustration.
