BIG, BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

I am sitting here at the computer looking down at Bold.  He is on the railing of the deck enjoying a can of cat food that Andy will not eat.  It is the expensive type with vegetables or some such thing good for diabetic cats.  Andy will not eat it but Bold seems very interested.  He is picking at it right now.  I can see him very well and he is BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFUL.  His feathers are lustrous, shiny with a hint of purple, green and cobalt blue with the black.  His feet are very BIG and so is his beak.  I have not seen Shy today so I am wondering if she is on the nest now.  Shy usually shows up in the morning at 7:30 AM but I have not seen her for two days.  I will keep looking for her each morning. 
The Stellers Jay and the Quail are here eating bird seed that was scattered on the ground.  It is hard to find food in the winter months so we put out seed everyday that it does not rain.  The quail are so pretty with their top knot and varied feather colors.  The bird world is special to behold.  We just got back from Tucson and had fun watching the roadrunners.  Each morning when we got up a roadrunner would be running along the top of the concrete block fence.  His tail was wagging up and down and he was on a mission.  Very amusing and entertaining.
Bold is back and he is doing his showing off routine.  He puffs up his wings and moves his head up and down while he makes a particular sound.  He looks very large .  He likes to sit in the tree outside the window where I am working.  There is plenty of food on the rail for him to eat but he is not down there eating.  Instead he is right outside the window at my level.  I think he likes company.  I yell out the window periodically- HEY RAVEN- what's doing.  How are you today?  You are looking GOOD!  And that he is.
