It seems I couldn’t access articles directly from The New York Times with the "Bit of Bird Chatter" keyword. This phrase could relate to various articles about bird sounds, communication, or related nature pieces the Times has published. If you have specific topics in mind or if you'd like an overview of bird chatter, I can share general insights into how birds communicate, the types of sounds they make, and their significance in the ecosystem. Let me know if this would be helpful!
