Drawing of raven tree along College Road

There is an ancient birch tree along College Road near the fairgrounds here in Fairbanks. The top of the tree long ago broke off, and the lowest branches are missing. (The lower branch in the foreground with the raven on it is now gone as well.)

However, the tree still survives, and the ravens seem to enjoy congregating there. Within reason, whatever ravens like I like as well. (I’m not too fond of rancid french fries or roadkill or pecking frozen McDonalds food wrappers off of frozen streets)
