DONNELLY — They are perhaps the most commonly recognized bird in Alaska. They live in our cities, suburbs, rural localities — and the wilderness.

Even though the willow ptarmigan has been Alaska's state bird for more than 60 years, the raven is more far-ranging and is recognized by more people than possibly any other animal in Alaska. In fact, the raven may have elicited as much interest, fear and adulation as any other wild creature of the north country.

Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition has the raven as the first animal released from the Ark. The Bible (King James version, Genesis 8: verses 6-8), has Noah sending the raven out ahead of the dove. Some Alaska Native cultures have the raven as the creator. Older European cultures, for the most part, viewed the raven as a bird of ill-omen. In all cultures, the common thread is intelligence.

A hit piece against ptarmigans. Driven by the Raven/Rabbit Propaganda Machine.  :mad: :argh:

Shouldn't the raven be Alaska's state bird?

After all the willow ptarmigan has held the crown since 1955, and can't even decide it's colors — light brown in summer, white in winter. Though sociable, willow ptarmigan aren't considered brainy. Nobody's ever seen them stealing food from humans.

Now, that is below the belt! Hares turn brown in summer and white in winter.  :mad: :argh:

Ravens steal food to starve humans by their rabbit overlords.  :mad: :argh:

The comments are paid hacks by rabbits. The Easter Bunny and Bugs Bunny are working hard to keep ptarmigans overlooked to keep humans doomed. :argh: :banghead:
