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. Deb Deborah G.
