Life in Inuvik, Northwest Territories

These things could eat a salmon…

Ravens are the most common birds around here. While I have seen seagulls, fishers and the occasional grouse, they are outnumbered by these large swooping ravens; ugly animals who look like the gathered witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

I photographed this one in the riverside fishing community of Tsiigehtchic. It was the size of a chicken.

    I object. Ravens are not ugly. They’re gorgeous. And so good at making alarmingly strange noises.
