No eagles today, but a crow/squirrel brouhaha in the backyard....

And yet another beautiful day here in the Northwest. We may rue this dry winter come August when it is always droughty around here and we have no water in the reservoirs to power our hydro-electricity. But for now, we are celebrating every lovely day of sunshine and warmth. It looks like this streak my be dwindling by the end of the week, however, as we slide back down to normal temps and normal rainfall.

No sign of Ethel nor Ernest on the bridge today. But we had a little bit of wildlife drama right in the backyard this morning before we left. Two very fat squirrels and one huge crow were in a fisticuffs over some bit of something.....maybe a piece of pumpkin rind from the compost heap or an even more delectable morsel like a dead mouse....and the battle was raging as we watched. Eventually, however, the overweight squirrels gave in, and the crow was left with the prize. In no time whatsoever he had invited some of his closest crow friends to join him in his feast.
