Blacktail Deer Plateau Wherefore art thou?

For @Sebastian

Ridge landed a couple feet from the edge of the cliff, and then waddled until his claws hung off the side. He was happy to find this little gem, as it held the necessary component of his favorite pastime: cliff diving! His tail feathers shook in anticipation as he looked down the sheer drop. Spreading his wings, he let gravity pull him forward and off the cliff. His eyes narrowed against the cold wind as he watched the top of the trees some barreling towards him. Or, technically, he was barreling towards them. 

Just before he would crash, he angled his wings to fly parallel above them. Slowing his speed, he dipped below the canopy, turning his body side to side to miss the trees. His sharp eyes caught the sight of a wolf, and thinking of the friendly ones he's already met, he swooped down to meet this one. He fluttered to a stop on a low branch, in the direction the wolf was heading, and screeched his presence. His head tilted, and he waited to see if he would get a greeting.
