We have a mockingbird couple in our front yard. They dive bomb us when we get too close to their nest. They are very vocal and sing and chirp all day long.
I have anesting pair in my yard ,,they are very tolerant of me 😂😂😂,, they nester in my bush and were succesful the fist set in march,,, they try 2 more times but failed,,,they were feeding the babies suet from my woodpecker feeder,,, they always disappear aFterdone with nesting 😮😮 see you next spring mr mockingbird bird ❤❤❤❤
Michelle! Excitement with the flycatchers! A baby flew out of the nest, which caused the parents to follow it in the bamboo and fight off the jays that tried to get close. I saw both flycatchers tumbling through the air with the blue jay. They were gone about 10 minutes while I stood about 8 feet below the baby. I could also hear another baby in the nest! When they came back (without the jay), they sat with the baby and I went into the house. 5 minutes later they were gone, all was quiet . It’s was getting dark. I hope they are all in the tree nest!
Love the mockingbird!
I like them. Especially in the evening, when all else is quiet.
Definitely I like watching them with their babies ❤️

These guys are so funny to watch! They have so much personality!
My favorite bird!

I have a Norther Mockingbird who I love watching in my backyard and I have captured a few pictures of her or him😂😂😂❤❤❤
They are super fun to watch especially when they act crazy😆
Thanks Michelle!

During summer, don’t forget to give them water to drink, not just food. Our mockingbirds drink more than they eat in summer.
I have noticed mockingbirds visit my bird bath and get water quite frequently as well!
How do animals do so well in bougainvillea? I see lizards and birds among those thorns, that never seem to poke them!
I always wonder the same thing!
I think it bothers them, but it is also a protection for them, so it is something they tolerate.
Are these guys found in Iowa ever ???
They are typically found in the southeast, but there are reported sightings in Iowa, I believe it’s just not as common.
Mocking birds stay at the far end of my lawn- pecking at insects. I don’t see them going for the nuts and berries in the bowls.
I’ve notice in winter mine grab raisins, and in summer they eat those little red seeds from the bitter melon vine.
@@FloridaKeysBirding That’s helpful! Is bitter melon the annual vine with little squash type flowers?

@@cherylj7460 yes that’s what mine look like. It’s super invasive here in south Florida it takes over! But the birds love those red seeds it makes!
@@cherylj7460 I bet they are protecting that baby! I’ve heard blue jays can be predatory to babies and eggs.

Can’t figure out how to edit the comment, I rarely ever leave these
They are the thugs of the bird world 😂
Amusing little turds.
