Friday Feathers...with full disgruntlement

We have been very lucky this summer to be able to enjoy cooler than normal temps.
Yesterday was an exception. Hot and humid.

You know, everyone enjoys a nice misting of cool water on a hot Summer day....
Macro kestrel mist




Steel the Kestrel misted
"Thank you. This is quite refreshing. I could sit here all day and let you do that."



....even if they would rather DIE than let you know they appreciate it:
I HATE TO GET WET
"No. I am NOT enjoying this. I hate to get wet. This is unpleasant. That stuff is all over me.....
...(stretching foot toward me)....you missed a spot."

You know, girl, you are SO lucky to get to work up close with such magnificent creatures even if they are ungrateful.

I love my birds more than I ever thought I would.

And they really couldn't care less.

Isn't he cute???
And our third oldest bird...he came in as an adult in 2000, so he is at least 10 years old!
Sweet little spaz.

I wanted everyone to be able to see the water droplets on their pretty feathers. Glad I got you grinning!

Isn't he, though? A little spaz, but gorgeous.
