For the past few days we have had a visitor......
Isn't he beautiful?? (I say he, could be a she we got close but no that close)
The first night we were outside and he flew in and landed right above me on the roof.
The second night we went out after dinner and there he was sitting on a fence post. He let me walk right up to him and took bread out of my hand.
Please pay no attention to the outfit and hair, in my defense it was a stay at home/cleaning day.
After the third visit we decided to name him Cole. (he's black and I'm not very creative)
We looked on the net and found out that he is a Raven not a Crow. He has the most amazing black feathers that shine purple and blue in the sun.
Have you ever seen such a thing?
The boys were beside themselves with excitement. We made them stand back a bit (Cole has a large beak and claws, I'm not totally crazy) from him. They were running around screaming basically being boys and Cole just looked at them like it didn't phase him at all. We can't wait to see if he is back again tonight. Always something new on the farm :)

Thats amazing!!! He is SO tame to let you hand feed him like that isn't he?
Wow hope he sticks around for a bit so the boys can enjoy seeing him.
