The little ones fledged about 4 days ago, and the aggressive behavior has
lessened. However, they are not only feeding the fledglings, they have a new
nest with new eggs already.

We have 3 mockingbird nestlings in a low shrub who look to be a few days from
fledging. When anyone walks through the yard the parents go on the extreme
defense and come out of nowhere to scare off the perceived predators. In
past years they just make a fuss and come in close, but this year they are
actually making contact, and not just a slight tap. It is a full force body
slam right between the shoulder blades!!
