Backyard bird watching

[2na]

Tim, I've had them land on the feeder in my hand as I was hanging it in the spring. I've read about how to wean them away from fear by putting a little seed on a table next to you, then putting your hand on the table, next move it closer to the seed, then finally get the seed in your hand, but I just don't have the time. It would be cool, though.

Paul, I lived in an apartment next to a marsh way back when, and the mockingbirds would call nonstop straight through the night. It was the only noise in the neighborhood. I've read that yearlings do that.

Catbirds watch me mow the lawn. Makes it easy for them to pick the worms and grubs out of the grass. Some times when I don't need to mow they'll sit in the Privets and bitch at me.
