Well I learned something new today as usual. Sitting on the front porch
watching Chickadees, titmice, House Finches and House Sparrows at the
feeders and not really thinking about it, when two adult male HOSPs started
chattering up a storm. Did not really think anything of it at the time,
but after a bit saw why they were. They were alarmed by the neighbor's
gray striped cat that was hiding in salvia unseen by me. The other part of
this observation was that the native birds paid no heed whatsoever and may
not have understood HOSP language. I know that had the wren or the
titmouse verbally latched on the threat, there would have been a lot more
interest between species.
