Ravens

    It's pretty rare to see a raven at the birdbath; I had never seen two at once until yesterday:

Bathing in the Rain

 A few days ago one of the owls showed up when it was raining and took a bath. I guess it figured it was getting a shower anyway, it might as well go all out:

Two Owls in the Bird Bath

 I almost never see both owls in the same bird bath at the same time. They usually take turns. They decided to bathe together this morning, just as it was getting light out. Low lighting is why the photos are so grainy. 

           

Hummingbird at the bird bath

Yesterday I was sitting on my patio when a female Black-chinned hummingbird came to my bird bath to get a drink. I have hummingbird feeders so I see them all the time, but this is the first time one of them came to the bird bath. Fortunately I had my camera nearby and got some photos:

The Return of the Hawk

 I hadn't seen the Cooper's Hawk in a few weeks, since the owl chased it off. It was back today and I got a few photos:

                           I don't know how it can fly when it's soaking wet like that.
