[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird suite

[Peter Saracino]

Tonight  I began listening to a Mockingbird while I had Merlin on. As the
bird went through its repertoire, merlin told me I was listening to a
Mockingbird, a Mallard and a kestrel. I had to leave, but it was a fun and
informative exercise and worth trying again again when I have more time.

[cayugabirds-l] mockingbird dance

[Deb Grantham]

I just watched a pair of Northern mockingbirds go through their mating 
dance/ritual including the aerial part and then end up on the ground where they 
mated.

Quite a few bluebirds right around my house in the last week and finally robins 
near my house, too. I've seen plenty of both in the last few weeks but near my 
house.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird at my feeder

[Deb Grantham]

Here they are rummaging around in my juniper bushes. There are a very few 
berries left but also good nesting opportunities. It’s always interesting to 
see who wins the territorial competition: mockingbirds, doves, or others.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird constantly vocalizing

[Marty Schlabach]

We have a pair or two of mockingbirds at our place, pretty much year round.  I 
find it curious that we have one vocalizing pretty steadily all day long.  Any 
explanation for such persistent vocalizing this time of the year?

And, I'd appreciate it if some of you would send some siskins and evening 
grosbeaks our way.  We still don't have any at our feeders.

Thanks,
Marty

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird

[Carol Keeler]

The mockingbird surprised me with a visit again.  It was here eating 
Winterberries.  I’m glad I have 5 bushes covered with them.  There could be an 
interesting war over the berries this summer.  I’ve had robins and bluebirds 
fighting over them before.  Many years ago I had a pair of mockers nesting in 
my yard.  They considered the crabapple tree theirs and drove off all other 
birds.  I have only a few crabapples left on the big tree but the new tree out 
front is covered.  I’d love the mocker to stay! I got pictures of it this time.

As for other birds, I do have several Tree Sparrows and lots of Juncos.  
Otherwise it’s the regulars.

The other day I was invited to “teach” my niece’s daycare class about birds.  
What fun.  I brought lots of my bird photos to share.  I’d love to inspire a 
new generation of birders.  I’m giving my 4 year old niece kids binoculars, 
bird ID books, and feeders for Christmas.  Here’s hoping.  Get them while 
they’re young.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird

[Carol Keeler]

For me it was an exciting morning.  I spotted a red fox out back so I headed to 
the sunroom to see if I could watch him.  He ended up hunting for rodents 
around my feeder.  While out there I looked to see what birds were there.  It 
was about 6:45.  I get the most birds early.  Anyway, a Mockingbird landed on a 
metal decoration in the garden.  Very exciting.  I haven’t had a Mocker around 
here in many years.  They used to nest in my yard, but then we had a horrible 
winter with extreme cold, and I never saw one here again.  They used to defend 
the crabapple tree against any bird that would go in the tree.  I’m hoping it 
may stay around.  I have lots of winter fruits with crabapples and 
winterberries.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird surprise

[W. Larry Hymes]

As I just happened to glance out our kitchen window this morning, a new 
yard bird popped in and landed on our clothesline pole  -- MOCKINGBIRD!  
And I do mean popped in, as it was here for about 5 seconds before 
departing.  We haven't had a mockingbird in our yard since 2012.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird mocking

[Alicia Plotkin]

We went to Sampson State Park again today where we heard a mockingbird 
singing a full repertoire of songs from apparently across the large 
field judging by the quality of the sound and the volume.  Except then I 
saw the bird, only about 50' away - he was singing in a full but very 
quiet voice, running through a couple of dozen songs with the same 
dexterity that he will showing regularly in a few weeks, except somehow 
dialing the volume way down while not changing the quality of the 
sound.  Perhaps warming up for the first day of spring tomorrow?


Cardinals, titmice, chickadees, robins & mourning doves also singing in 
the warmth of the full sun, but they weren't holding back.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi all, 
There has been a mockingbird singing away at the East Hill Plaza on Ellis 
Hollow Rd, Ithaca for the past week. He is there today in full song. He likes 
to sing from the evergreens to the west of Burger King. He must think it's 
spring!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird behavior

We've been watching our nestling bluebirds for the last 3 wks or so.  It's just 
our luck that they should fledge and abandon the nest box in the few days we 
were away and couldn't witness it.

[cayugabirds-l] mockingbird, others

[Bill Mcaneny]

This afternoon I went to the cornfields on Cayuga View Rd, TBurg to
photograph the hundreds of crows. In a small tree next to the road there was
a MOCKINGBIRD, the first I have seen this winter. (Well, maybe the second.).
Further south on the road were 4 HORNED LARKS.  But the crows were the main
show, swarming on the road and filling the treetops.  There is still corn
standing unharvested and many of the crows were perched on top of the
stalks. They were not obvious about their eating, but one of the group that
had been in my trees a few days ago had pulled apart a squirrel nest, with
no meal apparent.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird song

[Carol Keeler]

Good question.  I have a Mockingbird who serenades me quite often and he sings 
many other birds songs.  He's fooled me in early spring when I thought I had a 
Phoebe, but when he changed his verse, I knew who it really was.   I'd like to 
hear an answer to Richard's question as well.  My guess is that his song is all 
mimic.

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird, Renwick Woods, Mt. Pleasant, Jim Schug Trail, Dryden Lake, and George Rd. Pond

[Evan Barrientos]

Hi everyone,
Here are my e-bird lists from some birding Friday morning. Highlights included 
a Northern Mockingbird singing at East Hill Plaza, two GREAT HORNED OWLS in 
Renwick Woods, a pair of American Kestrels copulating at the north end of the 
Jim Schug Trail, and six Bonaparte's Gulls and two HORNED GREBES on George Rd. 
Pond. Also we saw some very interesting Mallard behavior at Stewart Park in 
which one male attempted to mount a female in the water while another male 
attacked him several times. In the end, the female broke away, and the THE TWO 
MALES ASSUMED A COPULATION POSITION. Overall a very productive morning.
