Michael caught this picture of two ravens. It is awesome! Click on the picture if you want to see it larger. The ravens are huge and spooky when they squawk. I told you before that Grandma Tansy belongs to the Tlingit tribe. The tribe is split into two clans - the raven and the eagle. Our friends are ravens. They have so many interesting customs and stories. The Tlingits are a southeast Alaska tribe - near the shore. She grew up in a fishing village and ate things like "stink eggs" (salmon eggs put in a jar and buried outside for days) and "stink heads" - salmon heads that are put in a gunny sack and anchored in the water for the tide to go in and out - then they eat it! She said she liked the eggs but didn't really care for the heads!
