Deeper Meaning to Tweets

Elaborating so much more eloquently than I could on the magic of existence, Dave Bonta writes of his very personal interaction with the Blue-headed vireo at Via Negativa.

"We felt privileged to have seen this much, the male bird having seemingly showed me his nest for reasons that are difficult to imagine. The Birds of North America monograph claims that the species is "very sensitive to close human attention at time of pairing and early nest-building; female readily abandons nest and even [her] mate. However, may nest in or near campground with unobservant traffic. Much more tolerant once eggs are laid. Sensitive again when large young are in nest..." "Tolerant" hardly begins to describe that male's behavior. Mom says a hooded warbler did the same thing to her last year, in another part of the property: sang until she noticed him, then hopped into his nearby nest."
