Reception

A review of Ravens in Winter by Publishers Weekly wrote "The story related here, which is constructed from his field notes, moves slowly; we learn a good deal about scientific methods and a lot about patience. Overall, however, the book is suspenseful and exciting." A New Scientist review summarised the book concluding "It also contains Heinrich's own—and excellent—drawings of the various raven postures, a comprehensive review of the literature, beginning with the Bible, and even a section of the ravens of the Tower of London."
It was an Evergreen Audubon & Nature Center Book of the Month.
Ravens in Winter has also been reviewed by AudioFile, Scientific American, The [Condor (journal)|The Condor], The Sewanee Review, and Library Journal.
