#Anting
Not Sunbathing but Anting.
Blue Jay practicing his favorite activity which is, Anting; get rid of some ectoparasites using ants. I thought the bird was dead !
Apparently many birds have this common activity. Like over 200 species are known to "ant".

The first picture is not in a very good quality since it was taken in a rush but, still had the time to catch this Blue Jay practicing his favorite activity which is, Anting; get rid of some ectoparasites using ants. I thought the bird was dead.

#NorthernRaven
Even by helping them to survive for over 3 years now, with 2 of their past generations, Ravens are still teaching their siblings to be extremely mistrustful/distrustful toward humans. Every time youngsters approach the land, a squawking sound by one of the parent, from the big dead spruce, can be heard. Meaning, go away!
Who can blame them!!!
They trust us, but kids have to learn the basic rules about Ravens and Humans. And if you have read the history of Ravens vs Humans, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
