Hi, I always have a pair of Mockingbirds on my Christmas Bird Count. They live in a big scruffy field across from the condos on Bomax Road. I was very surprized to see them for the first time four years ago!

One in particular is always protective of the cedar/juniper berries & is the guardian of the hill trying to drive away even large flocks of starlings. Last winter, for the 1st time, it was eating suet!! Other mockers live/stay in the thick stand of cedars a block away. We often see a mocker down along 90 at Levannah & a couple other places along 90. Snow geese, noisily gabbing to each other, went to the lake by the thousands last evening just before dark. Wishing all our birding friends a very merry Christmas.
