Tabs Open #26: Like So Much Hay Tossed Up To A Loft

As is so often the case we heard the ravens before we saw them. Their strange guttural cries came to us from somewhere up above the basin. And then one soared overhead, black and sleek. I read once that the best way to tell crows apart from ravens is that if you see a crow it’s a crow, and if you see a big crow it’s still a crow, and if you see a crow that makes you say “holy shit that is a big goddamn crow” then that’s probably a raven. The corollary held true for us: it was so big that we could hear its wings beating as it worked its way across the wide gap between the ridges of Gothic Basin. I’m not sure there’s a more fittingly-named place to see a raven.
