makes the whole world kin”–Shakespeare
(Feeding sparrows at the park. Stand near trees in a noisy chickadee area and hold your hand very still with black sunflower seeds on it, palm up. Stay immobile, especially when the bird lands.. Savour the feel of small, light feet perching for a seed grab. Have patience and confidence. Do not become rattled when one sparrow or nuthatch after another quickly come and go.)
