[QUOTE="MBell, post: 1440173, member: 21288"] Last spring during the lockdowns, I spent more time at home and really looked at the nature around me. I was so amazed to notice the beauty and complexity of the behavior of birds. I saw a cardinal couple start courting outside my windows, come for “dates” every evening and eventually bring their three offspring with them to the feeder to teach them how to forage and behave. I also got to witness a few types of woodpeckers creating their homes in nearby trees, watching them drill perfectly round holes to create safe abodes for their future families. I also got to watch a red-bellied woodpecker come to the feeder with his son and notice how the brilliant red color slowly filled in on the baby bird as it matured. I am now watching the birds practice their cyclical patterns through another spring, and I am so grateful that I was granted such a gift to slow down and observe things which I normally never noticed. It has a been an amazing and humbling opportunity and blessing! [/QUOTE]
