Boy do ravens like cheese. They really like it when I clean out the refrigerator and find pieces of old cheese past its prime. Yesterday morning I decided to do the dirty deed and clean out the cheese drawer. All the old pieces went out on the deck railing. I hadn't seen the ravens for a few hours but I know that they cruise overhead periodically to see it I have put out any tasty morsels. They both came down to take a look when they spotted the CHEESE. What is their favorite cheese? It appears the soft cheeses go first and then the firm cheeses. The winner was St. Andre, of course.
This morning I was tired because of working at the Harvest Festival from 2-8PM. So I didn't wake up until 7:30 AM! and the ravens was sitting outside the window as quiet as you please. Must be they wanted more cheese! Well no more cheese, we are back to dry dog food and 2 eggs. Bold raven came down and was a real show off this morning- doing his ruffled feather routine and much bowing-then started gobbling the dog food. This did not please the raven in the tree who started making all kinds of racket. So Bold raven picked up an egg and flew off with it, followed by the other raven. Then, cousin blue jay (Stellars) showed up to claim some dog food. The Stellars and and Scrub jays both really like the dog food and watch in the trees until the ravens have departed, then come down to claim some of Old Roy's special dry food! It is a restaurant out there. It has turned cold= 48 degrees this morning- frost is expected tonight in the valley and the wind fans will go on since the grape crop- cabernet is not in yet. We can hear the fans since sound travels so far- no fans up here as we do not seem to get frost.
