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. Sar

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

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
