"Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!" - Edgar Allan Poe. Happy birthday #OnThisDay to one of Baltimore's most notorious and beloved scribes. A few eagle-eyed (no pun intended) bird watchers have spotted ravens in Baltimore City over this past year. As we look to the skies we'll be sending up a toast to Poe, whose poem, "The Raven," has forever changed our view of this fowl friend.
