raven soars over great gulf

Re: raven soars over great gulf
I thought it was a big bug that flew in frame by mistake before I read your description!I was resting while climbing Mt. Garfield (north of Mt. Lafayette in NH) on a beautiful calm Fall day when a raven flew past me on the hillside not more than 5 yards away. I could clearly see its eye, with the sun highlighting its oily coloring, and hear the wind whistling through its wings. Very memorable.
