Ferne Fedeli once again found a Common Raven liberating hair from the backside of her donkey. I guess Ferne's donkey has nice soft hair, perfect for lining a nest.

Ron Bolander found this Raven attacking the mirror on a Coastal Seniors' bus.

Sometimes a bird sees its reflection in a mirror or glass and thinks he sees a handsome competitor. Ron tells me they now cover the mirrors with small wastepaper baskets to protect them.

Thanks to Ferne and Ron for allowing me to share their fun photos with you here.

We had a vigorous storm come through overnight, dropping over an inch of much-needed rain. Today is sun-drenched with white, puffy clouds drifting by. Just lovely.
