Hi Folks! A few posts ago I mentioned the North Cascade Institute’s corvid class taught every June by John Marzluff and myself. Good news; registration is officially open!
For those of you that missed my previous post, the corvid class is an overnight course hosted in the beautiful North Cascades alongside those iconic glacial blue lakes. During the class we will venture into snowy mountain passes to search for grey jays and nutcrackers and then head down to the Methow valley in search of magpies. It’s not unusual for us to see nearly every species of corvid found in Washington state by the end of the trip. To finish each day you’ll be treated to short corvid lectures and the wonderful meals provide by the NCI cooks. It’s a wonderful class, so if you have the means I encourage you to register. There’s limited spots available, however, so do it quickly!

WOWWWWW what an opportunity for those in the northern hemisphere. hope you have a fantastic time.
What a shame I live so far away…
I so wish..
I decided to try this out! I hope it is fun.
Oh it will be! Looking forward to meeting you, Sheila.
I’m so excited about this trip. I think the only trip that could beat it would be a trip to see New Caledonian crows.
I truly wish I were closer for this event.
Have fun, fellow crow lovers!
Do you have to be a North Cascade student or Washington Resident to take this class?
Absolutely not! We had a group from California last year.
What about kiddos, in specific a 5 year old who loves to camp and watch crows at home, are they allowed to come?
Hi Jeb, you’ll need to contact NCI for that question. I can’t remember ever having kids that young in the class before but that may be just by coincidence.
Hi Kaeli! Just discovered your wonderful blog today looking for info as a pair of crows is nesting in a tree in our backyard, 5 paces from our deck! We’re in crow-rich Vancouver, and I’ve read some of John Marzluff’s books. Just signed up for the mailing list so I can get an early start registering for next year’s corvid class. THANK YOU!
Enjoy those crows LDK!
