While I've been ever so lucky to see Song Sparrows, Belted Kingfishers, and the Ospreys engaging in activity of a reproductive nature in the past two months alone, over my entire seven years of birding I think my grand total viewings of such shenanigans is seven. An average of one encounter per year hardly seems worth tracking (there is no checkbox on my Life List database table for "seen doing it").<br /><br />Also, if that were the case, surely my reappearance in the evening would have triggered activity, and the lonesome Osprey that was calling persistently to its mate would have been quickly satisfied, don't you think? Alas, it was not to be. At least, not while I was watching!Alex MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121919349442258779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680901681738005078.post-25677549942466559532015-05-27T08:35:17.431-07:002015-05-27T08:35:17.431-07:00Has it occurred to you that your presence is some ...Has it occurred to you that your presence is some sort of aphrodisiac for birds?
