Something Changed

During winter months Tom crumbles bread into small pieces and feeds the birds each morning waiting patiently in the bushes and trees just off the front porch. A sparrow hawk has begun following the birds trying to pick them off when they go to open ground for bread crumbs. Tom began placing the bread under the trees and shrubs in tight spaces near the porch to deter the sparrow hawk. Today, the birds waited high in the bushes and trees and would not come to ground near the front porch. They know something Tom doesn't know.
