I just recently started observing bagworm moth phenology at Nature's Notebook. I also observe the tufted titmouse. Today I got some photos of both that I did not expect:

This titmouse (or maybe others) caught, shredded and ate at least three of these caterpillars today. I've been finding them attached to all kinds of stuff around my porch and planter garden -- tools, ropes, chairs, scrap wood, logs. I saw my first bagworm caterpillar in May of 2019. Now I'm seeing them all over the place.
