Raven, Shenandoah NP
"It was a big bird, a sorcerer wearing sleek black robes, its two talons tucked against its body as if each grasped a marble.... ravens, they all look alike... They stay hidden in their cloaks, notoriously intelligent birds, a shrewdness I could sense in this bird's stare. "
- Craig Childs (Contemporary river guide; natural history instructor, author)
