Mountainous Part of the Northern Hemisphere.

#CrimeScene

Definitely another vicious attack happened here between a Raptor and a small mammal. Probably a Hawk against a Jackrabbit or a Squirrel. There are no traces of any paws around. Even small feathers have been found along with pieces of fur. And the way I see it, the Raptor has won and left in the air with his catch again.

Small open fields around here are best known by predators who wish to fill their stomach.

So during Winter Seasons the food for Ravens around here is scarce and If you want to know why we help some of them to survive, well just listen to that video. Now you can’t see them in this video, but we did; so we know. And btw you need to pump up the volume.

It is the sound of a juvenile who’s extremely hungry, that has made a small come back in the valley asking “If I can say” for a little help from his father to get something to eat. And juveniles know that parents have a good connection for food. Us.

That is no fucking joke folks; the poor bird is so hungry that he has practically lost is voice.

Of course juvenile Ravens have been raised to never ask or accept food from humans. But we have gain 100% trust from Jack and Diane therefore they came to us for a little help. So we did provide that help.

((Northern Ravens “Les Grand Corbeaux Canadiens” are protected by the Canadian Law and somehow, when it’s possible, it is kind of our duty to provide any assistance that these birds may need))

A couple of minutes later the juvenile ate the food (that we provided) from their parents and went back to his own territory with a stomach full.

#CommonGrackel

…with all these temperature variations around here, no one can really be sure if it's Spring Season.

But today a small flock of these magnificent Common Grackels has arrived to enjoy the sun with us so, it's official now. We're in!

#NorthernCrow

Nervous young Crow from the village, out of his territory, waiting the approval from the Ravens to feast on a roadkill down below.

#DownyWoodpecker

Stumbled on this bran-new little Downy on my way to lunch.

Easy to come to the conclusion that this adorable Downy Woodpecker is in his first year of life. His belly is all white, without any stain from trees yet, and also while approaching the end of Winter Season he should be less slender. Meaning that our friend here has been well fed by his parent last Summer.

So long life to our new little friend Downy.
