Master of Shadows
"Black bird singing in the dead of night;
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life,
you were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly -
Into the light of the dark black night ..."
Dark shadows (with wings) linger in dead trees along the Courthouse Butte Loop Trail.
(Common ravens are actually rather remarkable animals. These sleek, black birds are excellent and acrobatic fliers on par with falcons and hawks. Such aerial skills are on display during breeding season, when exciting mating rituals include an elaborate dance of chases, dives, and rolls.
These intelligent birds were honored by Native Americans and often portrayed as sly pranksters for their playful nature.)
"Don't call me late for dinner," quoth the Raven!
