You are right! There is nothing like watching nature.
Here’s the thing about migrating birds. When they are going to move on, they just go. Food doesn’t influence them when they feel the need to leave. I don’t think they have left your area just yet, though. They might have moved the chicks a little farther away but they’ll be back. The lure of mealworms is strong. Few can resist a handout.
Don’t you love watching a fledgling begging for food? They always remind me of teenagers.
