With that in mind, it might be prudent to wander the local area with a firearm, or brush hook.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-73255206421303010782012-05-20T09:01:38.399-05:002012-05-20T09:01:38.399-05:00While I'd like to take credit for that shot, t...While I'd like to take credit for that shot, that is actually from Wikipediea's page on the Northern Mockingbird.

I live right on top of a road and we get traffic that doesn't let you listen that closely to the birds unless you are out early enough in the morning. I get usely am and the one bird I do love to listen to is the Morning Dove!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998455958377639450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-75252293014901242342012-05-20T05:36:21.071-05:002012-05-20T05:36:21.071-05:00Fantastic photo, and I would be nervous too!

They sent out the alarm and all other birds would flood our yard.<br /><br />In Florida, a bird song is rare so I have to place our mockingbird at number one, since he knows every melody there is.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.com
