Keep your eye on the birdie!

The goldfinch are steady customers at the window feeder again. They perch out on the tree, then flit in to grab a thistle seed, then flit back to their favorite branch over and over again.
As the time progresses, they feel a bit more comfortable lingering to peck out several beakfuls before flying off again.

I appreciate it when they linger; it makes taking their picture much easier.


Bitsy feels the same way, but for different reason I am sure.


Anyway...everyone in the house is enjoying the exact same hobby: bird watching.
Maybe the birds have a hobby too?
Wonder what it is that they like to watch?

Birds stare so deeply and intently - at worms? At dust motes? At things that humans can't see at all? I'd like to know what those things are.
