PHOEBASTRIA NIGRIPES Santa Cruz Bird Club Newsletter V olume 52 Number 4: Mar/Apr 08 OUR GARDENS’ FEATHERED STRANGERS by Todd Newberry In a book about crows, Mark Cocker wrote recently, “A really significant ele- ment in ascribing beauty to a thing lies not within [the thing] itself but in the quality of our attention to it.” While bird walks offer the fun of the chase, I think our yards and gardens often let us watch birds with a better quality of attention. Yards and gardens are where we can sit still and really watch birds get on with their lives. Then I think we see birds with new eyes and hear them with new ears. We notice them. Proust reminds us that noticing is the subtlest of crafts, as when we notice the music inside the notes. But noticing doesn’t come easily, and so I will risk your impatience by dwelling on some basics about birds. I have found that returning to basics helps me whenever I confront perplexing music or perplexing birds. One basic is that all places, ou r yards among them, are hab itats. When it comes to providing life’s sustenance, habitats are restaurants. Their creatures are their customers. By dividing up the garden’s resources, animals reduce their competition for any one item, which would otherwise soon run o ut. In their dietary diversity , a garden’s customers, birds among them, eat virtually everything on the menu. Some customers even eat the other customers. By their structural and behavioral variety, birds reveal to us how they sort out a habitat’s menu. A close look can surprise, as when we first notice the raptorial hook on the tip of a phoebe’s bill. We look and look again and soon enough we find we can distinguish insect-gleaners and grain-browsers, nectar-sippers, lumber- probers and egg-robbers, scavengers and fly-catchers, and many other ecological kinds of birds, even if we don’t yet know their names. Eventually we do learn their names, but by then they label creatures we not only recognize by the book but also have come to feel acquainted with on our own. (continued on page 7 ) ”...habitats are restaurants...some customers even eat the other customers.” In this issue: Feathered Strangers Calendar & Announcements New BB Atlas Special Thanks: Bill & Eric Santa Cruz Birds Burrowing Owl Update CBC Report & Tables Big Year takes Wing Sea Trips Photos!
