Great Bear Wilderness Walla walla

*chucks another WF in!*

The bird, too, had spotted the carrion, her erratic flight pattern suddenly becoming similar to a missile's as she zeroed in on the target. Leftovers from a kill made earlier, fresh and ripe for the taking — not that the small magpie could take much. However, when the source of the delicious smell came closer into view, there was another already there. A lumbering creature, bigger than any Shiv had ever seen, was hunched over the carcass, tearing strips of meat off as it fed. She came to a stop on the ground a fair distance away; closer than the wolf was but sharing his respect and wariness around the massive bear.

Only when it had finished and began to move onwards did she hop forward. One, two, three cautious jumps before she fluttered onto a rib bone that protruded upwards. With her sharp beak she began to peel off the meat that remained, pausing every so often to keep an eye out for fellow scavengers who had come to enjoy the free meal.
