For the Birds

There is a pile of bird seed on the sidewalk in a specific place every day, but I have never seen the person who leaves it. Some days it isn't really seed, it looks like instant potato flakes, and sometimes it's bread crumbs or stuffing mix, but it's always there. I wonder what kind of person goes to the trouble of putting food out for the birds on the sidewalk every day like that. It's not even in a pleasant area, there's no where to sit, or even a pleasant spot to stand so I doubt they watch the birds eating. Maybe they can see the pile from their window. I sometimes think I will watch for the person and see just who it is, but it's almost more fun just to wonder every time I pass the spot.
