This guy pulled out a feather that seemed to be annoying him on a hot day and he stuck it in the bubbler water fountain.

The word pen comes from the Latin word penna meaning feather.

Don't worry, the fledgling got plenty of food before and after this.

This is Shogun and Twitch and their new fledgling. Shogun is in the back right. Twitch is the one with the wonky wing on the left. The fledgling is front right. They were named by a neighbor who they live near and who feeds them salmon and scraps. We're not sure if someone shot Twitch with a BB gun or if Twitch got in a fight with something.

Saw this little guy sunbathing on the back of my bike when I got back from getting groceries. Probably liked the bags since they were quite warm from being in the sun.

He was very unperturbed when I walked up to him, pretty much giving me a look of "Do you mind? I'm enjoying myself here". Only moved when I unlocked my bike.

I put out a bucket of water when the temperature got above 80°. Took this shot as one of them was flying away.
