Indeed, the Hovenweep ravens love that high wall perch on the Castle ruin. I waited patiently to catch a shadow too, while enjoying their cawing.

@elaterite great backdrop.
#Hovenweep NM is a unique place, so peaceful and isolated even at the main ruins. I've always had the other areas all to myself, so few visitors.
