Ravens (and crows) are my favorite birds. We have crows here and occasionally they venture down into the woods, but usually when they are in my neighborhood they are high in the treetops talking to each other. But we never see ravens in southern Wisconsin, so I am always delighted to come upon them when I travel north, or out West.

My favorite Raven story is when we were traveling through the west and had our old German Shepherd with us. Anna was a great traveller and she had been riding in the backseat for several hours and we knew we needed to stop and let her get out and stretch her legs.

We came across a big gravel parking area that was empty, except for a semi truck parked right in the middle of the lot. It had rained earlier in the day and and at the far end of the parking area there was a big mud puddle with a raven standing beside it.

Anna looked up for permission and was given the nod to 'go get it'. The raven watched the dog coming and rather nonchalantly flew behind the semi truck with Anna at full speed right behind. That bird stayed about 6 feet off the ground and made 5 loops around the truck, with the dog in hot pursuit! It was obvious they were both enjoying the game, but we finally had to end it, knowing that the old dog was no match for the raven!

This raven was delighted to share my trail mix
