| The Gathering of Ravens by Beth Surdut |
A neighborhood association in Santa Fe county let loose a hawk and an
owl to keep the ravens away because they were busily destroying roofs. I
know the neighborhood-- it's one of those places where you can't paint
your door in a color not approved by the neighborhood association. They
vetoed the traditional turquoise blue that keeps evil spirits away.
Enough said.
One of my collectors in Alaska sent me this: According to the Anchorage Daily News, landfill workers are distraught by their
inability to out-think the raven, "It’s the ravens- the
conniving, vindictive and terrifyingly intelligent ravens- that really
wreak havoc. These are the same ravens, everyone swears, that somehow
picked out the personal truck of a worker who had been on harassment
duty and proceeded to eat all the black rubber off his windshield
wipers." When the harasser changed his truck for a red one, they did it
again!
