#EveningRaven
A visit from a new friend today and looks like it's love at first sight to me. I'm so happy to see these beautiful species near the house now. It's a powerful big juvenile Canadian Northern Raven who really likes what he's been served here in our feeding stations this morning.
This big guy is easily frightened from the leans of my camera like most wild animals. should I say. He tries to hide his head between is shoulders like a poor fella. And then behind those branches of that, more or less, 80 feet tall dead spruce. Even making some small noises/imitations of other animals, like a frog, to divert attention from him. So cute. I have many videos of that kind of situation but unfortunately to big to upload here.
Welcome friend.
#GarterSnake
Just found a small Garter Snake near the SUV down the hill. These Garter Snakes are common in local habitats around here. This one is like 7 inches and can grow up to 52 inches in length. The saliva is toxic to amphibians and other small animals but not dangerous for humans.
So as they say..., catch and release.

#EveningGrosbeak
The Evening Grosbeaks are back just in time to try our new, very simple homemade, feeding stations that have been installed just for them at, more or less, 20' from the house.
This morning they were like 30 to 40 of them with us for breakfast. And if they're satisfied with that, they could stay around here the entire Winter.

#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".

Ganoderma applanatum, the artist's bracket, artist's conk, artist's fungus, or bear bread (lat. Ganodérma applanátum). A harmful fungus that infects trees and causes rot on them.
The lower part of the tinder is sensitive to touch, so creative people assemble it, color it and create paintings using thin sticks, rods or other convenient tools. Tinder is also made from it, a material that can easily ignite from sparks. The tinder from the mushroom burns for a long time and produces a lot of heat.
You can see that next to the mushrooms, the wood and earth have acquired a rusty hue. This is how the spore powder spreads, with which it multiplies. Sometimes, passing by such places, you can stumble upon a reddish haze😄
Трутовик плоский, гриб художников (лат. Ganodérma applanátum). Вредоносный гриб, поражающий деревья и вызывающий на них гниль.
Нижний покров трутовика восприимчив к прикосновению, поэтому креативные люди собирают его и рисуютсоздают картины с помощью тонких палочек, стержней или других удобных инструментов. Также из него изготовляют трут — материал, способный легко воспломеняться от искр. Трут из гриба долго горит и вырабатывает много жара.
Можно заметить, что рядом с грибами дерево и земля приобрели ржавый оттенок. Так разлетается споровый порошок, которым он размножается. Иногда проходя мимо таким мест, можно наткнуться на рыжеватую дымку😄
Myosotis scorpioides, the scorpion grasses or forget-me-not (lat. Myosótis, Myosótis scorpioídes).
A herbaceous perennial plant whose inflorescences resemble the named a scorpion grass, which is why in some countries it is called scorpion grass. A more poetic name is forget–me-not, often associated with the memories and fidelity of lovers during a long separation.
Yes, I had a similar tradition. As a child, I spent the whole summer with my mother in the village, and my father came on weekends, and on Sundays he returned to the city to work. After making a small herbarium of forget-me-nots, I gave it to Dad before he left so that he would remember that I miss him. And on Friday he would come back and give it to me.🌱🩵
Незабудка скорпионовидная, незабудка болотная, измодень, горлянка, скорпионовая трава, мышиное ушко (лат. Myosótis, Myosótis scorpioídes).
Травянистое многолетнее растение, чьи соцветия напоминают закрученный хвост скорпиона, поэтому в некоторых странах его называют скорпионовой травой. Более поэтическое название – незабудка, часто ассоциируется с воспоминаниями и верностью влюбленных во время долгой разлуки. Да, у меня была похожая традиция. В детстве я проводила все лето на даче с мамой, а папа приезжал на выходные, а по воскресеньям уезжал обратно в город, работать. Сделав маленький гербарий из незабудки, я дарила его папе перед его отъездом, чтобы он помнил, что я скучаю по нему, а по пятницам он возвращал его мне. 🌱🩵
