Baby robin waits for worms being gathered by its attentive parents

"The trouble with building a nest where your friends can see it is that your enemies also can see it." Rough translation of what a mother bird said after a hawk raided her nest to capture small things to feed its own hungry brood. Just following a law of nature.

The trouble with having human beings around is that they remove your safest habit (vine-covered saplings and understory vegetation in thickets where nothing can find them) in order to create a "clean" yard that will pass the English lawn test. Sure, they put out feeders, but you can't raise babies or find earthworms and insects in a "neat" yard that is mostly a turf-grass monoculture, especially if it has been sprayed with pesticides and herbicides or had chemical fertilizer added. Diverse vegetation provides healthy habitat.
