On Sunday we saw a very healthy coyotte walking along the path in the oak forest area. He was walking and sniffing the air. We definitely need to keep our old kitty in the house. There were some small birds flying around overhead of the coyote. His coloration is such that he was hard to see against the backdrop of the fallen oak leaves. On Sunday evening we saw a very large number of ravens flying into our valley. They roosted overnight in a big Douglas fir behind the house. Looks like we have another raven tree for the winter months. We had one last year in front of the house. It is a beautiful sight to see all the ravens flying in, then they quiet down and you would not know that there is a raven in the tree unless you see some movement.
Monday it rained all day. The ravens DO NOT LIKE rain. They look depressed. They were late in coming to get their food. I gave them some bacon to make them happy. I did not see them the rest of the day.
Today the weather has cleared and Bold raven was here at 8 AM without Shy raven. He looked in the window at me while I work at the computer. He got his egg and flew off. We got some eggs at Costco yesterday- a 24 pack- that should last 12 days- a good deal.

ReplyDeleteLucky doesn't like rain either. He gets depressed too. I miss my little Lucky boy :-( But his is having the time of his life at the River. He goes on 5 walks per day, has 3 doggie friends that he visits (a terrier mix named Rowdy is his best friend), lives with 2 cats that tolerate him and one that LOVES him, and gets to play in the River. What a life!
