Most readers of 10,000 Birds know that nature is full of surprises and that we aren’t the only ones with a lock on intelligence and creativity. I found a Common Raccoon foraging at the water’s edge while waiting for a distant heron to do something… anything.

I also watched, but failed to get pictures of, the same young bird being fed by two different male House Sparrows. These particular birds were in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan, but the same story is taking place all over the world right now, as few species have successfully adapted to as many locations as the House Sparrow.

There are bird feeders and then there are squirrel feeders disguised as bird feeders, a fact known well by those of us who have committed a part of our lives to our yard birds. And, although I grew up in a house with a great yard, my parents were not of the bird-feeding persuasion. At least, feeder birds.

Interestingly, the bird activity during the incubation period is misleading when it comes to estimating the number of nesting terns. Our low estimate, judging from the birds seen flying in and out, was way off the mark. If not returned to the rooftop, chicks will starve if cats, dogs, fire ants or raccoons don’t get them first.

Make bird feeders. Bird feeders, on the other hand, are a fantastic creative project even for toddlers. Mix to create the base of your bird feeder; then have kids knead in 4 cups of bird seed (take your time; this step is messy and a lot of fun). You can leave some interior struts to allow your birds to perch.)
