I have to say I'm getting quite a kick out of watching the birds at the various feeders.
As I type these words there's a plump and happy mourning dove fifteen feet in front of me, clearing the walkway of any stray bird-feed that fell from the feeders overhead.
Earlier on there were a pair of woodpeckers at one of the feeders. One was on the feeder feasting, but he'd pretty much every other peck turn around and pass a beakful to his mate sitting on the arbour behind him. It was a beautiful thing!
And they do this cooperative stuff just because they do. Ain't no rules or laws making those birds work together.
We could learn a lot from them.
