Don't Mock Me
As I was watering some of the plants in the backyard tonight, there was a bird (a mockingbird I think) flying around me, harassing me. It was quite annoying and I couldn't figure out why she was being so bold until I got to the hibiscus.
Too cute. I went inside and watched and sure enough she was bringing the baby food, so I hope everything works out well.

I know the boys will want to watch it grow. If the parent has white stripes on the end of both wings, that's the sure clue to being a mockingbird (look in the bird book!).

The mamma quit coming back, and with the storm last night I broke down and put the baby in the garage. A friend told me that I can take it to the SPCA and someone there will take care of it and release it.

The mamma came back this morning so I put the baby bird back in the bush where it was last night and she has resumed feeding... :)

Good. The feeding doesn't have to be constant. I'm surprised there is just one baby. The baby will just get bigger and more anxious for a bite of bug, and then after a few weeks, with a short flying lesson, it should be gone.
