I don't live in an area with Ravens and feel that just living where you do must be magical since you have the honor of their presense. Personally, I feel "magic" when observing our wildlife in their "everyday" life. When I see the Red-tailed Hawks gliding above the field, hunting, across from my house I feel VERY connected. The Hawks, and many other animals, live side by side with us and I feel very lucky to be able to observe them. It hurt my heart a bit to see you say you feel you lost something.

I love Cornwell, and the Uhtred series is a good one. However, my very favorite work of his is his Arthur series: The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur. They are simply wonderful in all ways, plot, characterization, writing style, weaving the history in, but not leaving out what the reader wants in a narrative...but it's all v British, so it may not be for you!

I follows the protagonist from child hood to old age. Starting in Iceland and traveling the ancient world. It is solidly set in historic events and has a deciedely Heathen perspective. Well worth the read. I am going to check out this series as well thanks for the book tip! This sounds very similar to Tim Severin’s Viking trilogy.

I love them so -- it always seems a great privilege when they sit nearby and call to their watchers. I throw things out to tempt them to eat whenever I hear them wheeling in the air. Their communities are complex and well organized. And Wisconsin shoots them. Yes, the filthy bullies and their BB guns are allowed to learn to kill on ravens and mourning doves in Wisconsin.

In fact some are as big as a medium sized dog. I love these birds. They are smart, sassy and just plain old amazing. I love when it is -45 C out and they are standing on metal for hours on end. They are amazing birds. I enjoyed your post! Blessings from the far north Willow I live in Yellowknife and we have tons of ravens here. In fact some are as big as a medium sized dog.

It is written by Brendan Myers and came out around the same time as Orr's book.
