The Trickster

Native tradition refers to these birds as tricksters. I am not sure how tricky they are being here, but I will say it took me the better part of two days to get a photo of them.

What is really happening here is a tradition of another sort. In November in this neck of the woods, it is very usual for hunters to head up north to the Dempster Highway to bag caribou.

This meal for the Ravens is one of the end results of that hunt. In this case, the outcome of my neighbor's hunt.
