  • Mockingbird

    From jmcquown@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 6 04:24:48 2024
    Somewhat dark photo; it was late afternoon so it was shaded. I'm seeing
    a lot of Mockingbirds this year. They seem to like the suet feeder:

    I'm reminded of the book by Harper Lee and the phrase "It's a sin to
    kill a Mockingbird."

    I like seeing and hearing them. :)

    Hi Jill,

    Only once have I maybe seen a Mockingbird around here. It was so brief
    though and far away to only be a guess...

    From what I've read over the years they can be a bit annoying with their
    never ending singing through the night😬

    Nice photo for a quick snap👍

    Thanks, Leon! Mockingbirds do tend to sing at all hours. :)

    I saw one at the suet feeder a couple of times yesterday as a matter of fact.

    Haven't heard the characters going to town at night so far but I
    probably will soon.
