    Here The Answers of Treasure Hunt No.1:

    R1. THE RAVEN - The raven was adopted as Yukon's official bird in 1985.
    The raven is seen everywhere in Yukon. It is a very intelligent bird and an opportunistic feeder, feasting on everything from carrion to groceries left in the back of pick-up trucks.
    The raven is the largest member of the crow family and has a body length of up to 70 centimetres.
    The raven is called "Crow" by Yukon First Nations people and is the subject of many stories passed from generation to generation.

    R2. HANK WILLIAMS - "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1949. The song about loneliness was largely inspired by his troubled relationship with wife Audrey Sheppard. With evocative lyrics, such as the opening lines "Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly," the song has been covered by a wide range of musicians.
    Rolling Stone ranked it #111 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It's the second oldest song on the list, and one of only two from the 1940s.
