Our guy sat right at the top of our huge Douglas Fir and did his copy cat repertoir all day and night. I did a bit of research on them and apparantly they can do over 50 different calls. When they have found their mate they will only make a noise in the day, but up til then they do it 24 7 which can be tiring LOL.<BR/><BR/>I love this one with the berries, I will try to find the link to my pics earlier this year, they are somewhere on my blog. I got obsessed with catching him "flashing" his white underwings.<BR/><BR/>Great post.<BR/><BR/>LoriLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-83095638966836980102007-12-19T09:34:00.000-05:002007-12-19T09:34:00.000-05:00Our mocking birds aint as pretty as that fella!

I like their song too! And I also like how they can "tell off" the other birds when they dont' want them around....and I have also seen them "dive bomb" a few cats that are around :)<BR/><BR/>It's funny how I take for granted Mockingbirds....I have grown up around them all of my life...yet some have never seen them before.<BR/>I will need to appreciate the ones around here better!!Kerri Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617128767655910810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-43761431724294355742007-12-19T04:45:00.000-05:002007-12-19T04:45:00.000-05:00Mockingbirds are nice birds.

It took 44 years for the Brown Thrasher and Rose-breasted Grosbeak to show up. So, maybe the mockingbirds will arrive next summer.<BR/><BR/>We have robins who perch in the crabapple tree all winter or one does and claims that tree and it fruit as its own. It will stay there and defend the tree and fruit all winter. Amazing. And in the end, or about springtime, the dried-up fruit is gone.<BR/><BR/>Nice photograph and narrative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-53358905861001026062007-12-19T03:26:00.000-05:002007-12-19T03:26:00.000-05:00I would love to hear what a Mocking Bird sounds li...I would love to hear what a Mocking Bird sounds like.
