hummingbirds often nest all around Cooper’s hawks’ nests in order to avoid the nasty nest-robbing habit of jays and other corvids.
"When we humans are part of the baseline habitat, the birds’ use of us as a safety barrier is more widespread than we might imagine.
House sparrows hang around our feet at outdoor cafés for more than just the crumbs."
@holon42 Interesting. I never thought to consider that. I wonder if that has anything to do with the occasional nesting habits of wrens? 👇
@holon42 That was my tent several years ago. I haven't been so blessed this year. 🙂
