Oh, how I wish this bird was in my yard! I spotted him yesterday, at work, perched on our tall radio antenna. At first, I looked for a cardinal...then I looked for a blue jay...I kinda thought the singing was coming from the bird on the radio tower, but it was neither of the birds it sounded like.. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Then it dawned on me that it was a male Mockingbird. And me without my binoculars!!.. He did lots of aerial displays for me, showing the white under his wings. My boss noticed my excitement, when I came back in to our meeting, and got right up and went out to see it...gee, he might not be so bad after all.. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ..(he's new this year). A guy who loves birds can't be all bad....
I drive school bus, and will work for 6 weeks this summer, so I plan to keep and eye on the Mockingbird and maybe see if he attracts a mate. I read that they build their nests in dense bushes or low trees....Anyone have any experience to share with me??
