'Pink Bloom and Dark Wisdom'
This is a photo I took two days ago. It has a charm about it, and I certainly would love to design something with it!

Just a quick compilation I made of Hekyll and Jekyll when they were first starting to build their nest in one of my pine trees. They've used these two pine trees before, and I guess found the one in the right suitable for another nest. This was back in mid March that I filmed this.
I'm hoping to get some photos of new fledglings as the weeks stretch on. But if not..I *do* have last years photos. Hoping for a successful nest before I leave.

I got back in the evening from a 10 hour drive, and I was spotted immediately. They seemed fairly chilled regarding my week long absence

Some good news– concerning the treat I left purposefully this morning before work – I had a chance to get out this afternoon and it showed typical raven tell tale predation signs (afterall, you get to know a bit about how an animal eats when you are keeping tabs on them)! There's still no way for me to view the nest (too high up, and not in an area that's fully visible under the watertower), but the ravens still very much do fly through the area still.

I was relieved to see and hear Mrs.Nevermore yesterday ( I hadn't seen the ravens in a few days anyway due to me being elsewhere), but she didn't land for any treats. There's been a lot of loud maintenance at the watertower, and I'm hoping she didn't end up abandoning the nest that was built. But I'm not sure how young ravens will deal with all that disturbance either.
Since I won't see any of my birds at all next week (trip to NC), this week I'm trying to gauge how often the ravens are returning to this watertower during maintenance. I wonder if they're naturally shying away from the tower being noisy, and it's the fact that it's nesting season. Or perhaps maybe the nest isn't abandoned, and I'm just anxious about my birds as usual. I can't fully confirm if that's the case since I'm not there 24/7 (but I am there often enough).

My home crows don't understand my clicks as much as the ravens at work do--- at least not yet.
They'll catch on, but I should've introduced it earlier.
Anyway, Jekyll here is most likely just looking for soft nesting material. I went outside the screenhouse and he stayed there, showed him some treats, put down said treats and this boy glided in like a landing plane.
It's nice to see this comfort level from what was a murder of fairly skittish crows! They enjoy when I go outside now.

Some visitors from last weekend!
That high contrast blur is an eastern phoebe. I've seen one in the yard last year, and spotted him/her on the fenceline. My not so clean window was closed so I made due with the photo I got.
I'm also surprised to still see that the dark-eyed juncos are hoping around.

Oh yeah? I saw that little happy hop! You can't pretend to act
nonchalant, Mr. Nevermore.
These ravens never cease to amuse me. I'm often thinking they didn't
see something I left, or/and wouldn't come down after I see them
flying in the distance. Or that in general I just don't seem to notice
them (but they certainly see- and surprise- me)!

Jekyll dropped this stick. It doesn't match any of the trees in the yard and the stick itself looks pretty worn (it's very light).
I also realized I hadn't taken a picture of the glass shard Jekyll offered up months ago. So here that is, too.

Jekyll has a lot to say. Rally the troops!
He's also pretty fluffed up, which is usually the little raven's (Hekyll's) territory. It's enough that he's sitting on her favorite branch. Jekyll, your mate is about to have a few words with you.
