conulyWell, until they suddenly spooked and fluttered away, flapping their wings right in my face. I've always liked mourning doves, but they're very clumsy and slow birds.
We've also been visited again by our mockingbird, who has spent some time jumping down to the tray feeder and then reconsidering and perching back at the top of the tree. The cardinals finally figured out the tray feeder, so maybe the mockingbird will as well.
Last time Jenn didn't get a chance to see it before it flew off and commented that she doesn't even know what mockingbirds look like, so here is the Audubon page on them. I tried to find a video of a mockingbird in flight but I couldn't find one I liked very much. The best one was clearly taken from far away and so you could still barely see what you were looking at. Edit: the videos in the photo gallery here will have to do.
