I think you must answer…
When walking by our big window, I noticed the cat notice some back-yard birds. She rushed to the window sill and crouches for the attack. Pretty sure, she forgot about that thing called glass. I laughed at her and then looked to see what visitors we had.
And there he/she sat. All prim and proper in the holly bush. For this post and lack of bird anatomy, I will call her she. As SHE was very dainty, and soft. She seemed to enjoy the soft rain. I wanted to go get my camera, but I knew as soon as I did she would fly off.
But she didn’t.
It’s been raining here. And when, I walk from the office to the kitchen. There she is. Enjoying the rain. I didn’t see her get throaty or sing-song. She seemed fairly quiet for a mockingbird. She didn’t seem to mind when the dogs were let out or I peeked at her from the window.
I made a Bob-White whistle and she dove into the bushes. Only to emerge after checking to see if the coast was clear. I guess she met one too many of those fellas.
So this was our rainy day excitement. A little Northern Mockingbird visit.
Isn’t she sweet?

Ohhhh, I forgot about that! I’m a little behind in my Texas history since I grew up in Oklahoma. But yes, I read the mockingbird is one of the 10 most common backyard birds for the Dallas area.

Love these birds. If it starts singing by early spring–it’s a male. He usually scopes out the territory, builds a nest, then finds a female, and hopes she approves of the accommodations. 🙂 If your holly has berries, it may be eating them. They typically nest at eye level, and they do like hollies for that, too.

Yes, this bush has berries and it is quite a plush little spot. I’m sure the real estate is prime. Although, we have seen a few rat snakes in the area at times.
But we had house finches in the bush one year and the shelf of our patio the next. Robin’s in an old grill left out. I think the birds like our yard. I told my husband he needs to put up a bird bath and feeder. I’ll set my tripod up and get LOTS of pics. 😀

Cute, yes, so cute. Until they decide to shout out every sound they have ever heard in the too early hours of the morning from a tree just outside my bedroom window. That was in California – I’ve never seen any of them here.

My sister had one too. SUPER LOUD. Luckily, I can’t hear birds in this house. Sometimes I hear a caw from the office, but that has been it. I guess it’s well-insulated or I am deaf. HA HA.

Poor kitty! She really wants to go outside and play with all the bugs and birds, but I am scared to let her. 😦
