Recently Candace Cornell asked the question why other birds would stay
around and feed relatively uperturbed, when nearby a sharp-shinned is
feeding on a bird it recently captured. I think that's a very
interesting question, but so no response posted on cayugabirds. Do
other birds sense there is less danger from a predator, when they
observe it being preoccupied with its prey? Any thoughts from you bird
behaviorists?
