Blacktail Deer Plateau high alert (BWP!)

Grayday quickly went through everything he knew about the birds. They didn't always attack, but they might if they caught you out in the open. They generally hunted in the daytime, they could kill from a distance, they usually travelled alone... He couldn't think of much else.

Grayday had thought he'd left them behind in Alaska, but apparently, the creatures had a very wide range.

"With any luck, it'll move on before we have to," he said reluctantly, wishing he did not have to think so far ahead. "For now, let's just make sure everyone knows to stay in the treeline when they're about."
