#RavenScent

#RavenScent

You know Ravens have a distinguished particular odor like dogs have, which everyone enjoy so much; so…

During the nesting period, Diane has to leave us for about 5 weeks and Jack, her life partner, has to provide her with all the food that she needs while incubating the eggs.

I love them both but Diane is the first one I’ve meet and the bond between us is strong. During that period I really miss her.

So what I do is just open this big jar, which is full of their body feathers, which I’ve picked up from time to time, and take a big smell out of it.

And if you have no idea what the smell of a Raven is? Well it’s like an amazing “méchoui” roasted outside over a wood fire; or like some kind of aromatic incense fragrance smoked like “Nuit d'Opium”.

#AtlanticPuffin

Encounter with an official pair of Atlantic Puffins, symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, while on our way to visit some friends.

Even if the Atlantic Puffin has a large population with a wide range, this species declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

What helps them is that colonies are mostly on islands, with no terrestrial predators.

#WildernessNeedProtection

I’m not here to teach (or educate) anything to anyone but only as a reminder about the benefits of nature which, has is own limit. Wilderness cleans our air, filters our water and provides home for human as well as for wildlife.

So it is crucial for humanity, which is already to blame, to bring radical changes today before it’s entire extinction tomorrow.

That is my only intention here folks.

#NorthernRaven

Ravens adore eating chicken eggs and this is for those who haven’t seen one yet. And in the Grand Valley of Chertsey, Québec, Canada this morning it is -24° at 06:35am.
