#Binoculars

I got new binoculars made by Nikon which allows me to see wildlife, not visible to the naked eyes, snooping around far back on these mountains. They are kilometers from here.

These are just the right ones for mountainous excursions. It is 12x50, 6" and more powerful than that, you loose your focus and need a tripod; and won't do any good around here. So I'm very happy with it.

#Fireworks

The issue with fireworks is that some people are not aware or simply just forget that fireworks have a huge negative affect on wildlife and even on domestic animals. Especially when living in the countryside. Our dogs for example get crazy, act completely irrational and even endanger themselves.

Fireworks greatly disturb wildlife around here, cause fear, stress and anxiety to poor animals. They panic, abandon their nests, burrows, logs, trees and flee their natural environment leaving their young behind without any chances to survive on their own. Also fireworks are always of course, initiated at night when birds can’t fly. Why can’t they fly? Because they just don’t see in the dark. So they’re panicking; flying around and don’t know where to land, get short of breath, hit trees or buildings, have heart attacks to finally die and fall down on the ground.

That is very, but very cruel.

It does not only happen in my countryside but also in cities everywhere around the World.

So before initiating fireworks people, please have a special attention of what’s living around you.

It happened before, it still happening and will happen again.

#RavensTerritory

… with all these traces/remains on the ground, we’re definitely trespassing a Raven’s territory. These guys are omnivorous, so they eat practically anything. If I wouldn’t be known by them I wouldn’t stay here much longer. The nesting season have just ended and they are extremely protective of their family.

It is said that Crows have been shown to have the ability to visually recognize individual humans and to transmit information about “bad” humans, to their offspring by squawking. Which I can totally certified.

We’ve been feeding some of them for a while now and they have the habit to visit us in the morning to get some pork meat, liver, and sometimes chicken eggs which they just love.

By the way, this is my longest feather found of a Raven and will definitely be added to my collection. This feather is 15 inches long and makes me very happy.
