nor I could see him. The birds knew he was there, however, and sensed he could not detect them unless they moved.
Dilemma! If I went outside to startle the hawk away, I would also force the birds to move. After all, to them I was as serious a potential predator as the silently watching hawk. Yet, the motionless birds were burning energy which they needed to replenish by constant feeding. Their motors burn fuel rapidly. Finally, I went out on the front porch. Apparently this startled the hawk from the maple tree and he left. The birds quickly went from stillness to motion and began to feed again.
Lee Trott was determined that Starlings were not going to monopolize the feeding area as they have done several times this morning. While working in my study, I heard her: “Go away\” This was followed by a peck on the window. The Starlings soon learned that there was no food for them as long as Lee sat at the window; later, I joined her there and we kept the feeder Starling-less for a time.
A new bird arrived at the feeder. The Rusty Blackbird came in with the grackles. He has baleful yellow eyes, like grackles, yet lacks their shining iridescence. I put dried bread, broken into pieces, on the well cover to lure grackles away from the feeders which they tend to dominate.
