Idle watcher enjoys backyard birds and nest taming tales
An idle watcher describes spying on Downy Woodpeckers and Carolina Chickadees at suet feeders and nest sites. He notes Tufted Titmice using a bluebird house, Blue Jays and Crows adjusting behavior during nesting, and contrasts memories with a study of Robins, Browns Towhees, Scrub Jays, and Bewick’s Wren birds at his parents’ yard, concluding the activity reveals attentive observation rather than idleness.
