the ground, and unpainted platform bird feeder. This is the case with feathered predators.
The concept is simple: if it doesn’t move it isn’t perceived as food.
When this device for surviving is observed from inside, the worst thing one can do is go outside with the intent of scaring the predator away. Had I done this, both the chickadee and the junco would have flown away. My presence could also have sent the little hawk into flight. But not far. He or she would be back to wait and look with golden eyes for a meal of junco or a chickadee.
Though it tested my ability to be an observer, I waited. Finally, the chickadee moved its head almost imperceptibly. Then the junco.
They perceived the danger past and went on with their feeding. The little hawk had flown. Soon other birds — a cardinal, titmouse, a Whitebreasted Nuthatch and more juncos — arrived for the heavy feeding that usually occurs between 1 and 2 p.m. each day.
