I've been reading up on ravens, and I think that's what it was. There are a bunch of them that hang out at the park, and their wingspan can be 45."

The good news is they have never attacked Eddie before. He's even chased them. The bad news is that half their diet is live prey, usually small rodents. That's probably what he swooped down on.

Hopefully, Yorkies are too big!

What awesome pictures. I remember Alaska ravens. They are big - and grouchy.

We were in Haines once and watched a showdown between a raven and a bald eagle. The eagle was just sitting on a tree branch that the raven must have thought was his. The raven fussed at the eagle but was ignored. The raven finally got up all his courage and jumped at the eagle --- and the eagle left. The raven all but beat his wings against chest after that.

I believe it. They are strange birds. Most other birds have the sense to fly south for the winter, but ravens gather here in the winter. We hardly ever see them in the summertime, but in the winter, when we're below zero, they are thick.

Wow!!! That would have freaked ME out. Poor Eddie is going to need doggie therapy pretty soon with all these animals on the loose!!

ARCHIE · 03-13-2007, 10:01 AM

That was some picture!

Although frightening it was also beautiful. I had no idea a Raven could be that large!
It's amazing how strong a dog's instinks really are. Your just too smart
for words Eddie. Your safer looking out and barking through that window.
