hello tweeters,

most of us know how difficult it is to spot a bird's nest, even when it's
sitting right outside the window. But have you ever wondered if this
camouflage is intentional or if it is an accident? i wrote a short piece
about a recent study that investigates this question:

i also link to a BirdNote Radio podcast on this same topic from that story
-- this is the very first podcast i've ever written! so yeah, i am kinda
excited.

cheers,
