Common Raven (one of a family).
Today on an uneventful hike,
I happened upon a family of ravens—
two adults, six juveniles
recently fledged,
being shown around the neighborhood.
A vocal, croaky, nervous bunch,
they dove into the leafy valley
when they saw Jack and me.
Eastern Phoebe (with nestling food).
