Well the eclipse just passed us by. It is somewhat overcast today with variable clouds but one could see the happening in the sky. I put out TWO chicken eggs for Raven today to celebrate and some unsalted peanuts in the shell. Raven arrived in the middle of the eclipse to get his treat. He was not bothered by an eclipse since he is messenger of the world and already knew about it for days.
Two days ago I heard the raven call so I went outside to look. He was way up on the top of a huge pine tree calling to me. Cool- I went out and put his treats, chicken egg, chicken fat and peanuts in his special place. Just about then the little girl next door came out screaming her head off and the gardener next door started up his blower. Life in the burbs. This never happened up on Mt. Veeder, living on 5 acres.. but here in burbs there is always NOISE. So RAVEN took off never to be seen again that day. I left the food out and some creature got it in the night and left a calling card- raccoon or fox? Could not tell.
Oh well- they got a treat thanks to the noisy day! All is well after the eclipse, raven got his food, the gold finches got their Niger seeds, orioles have a full feeder and it is a beautiful day!
