My mockingbird leaves the first of May. He goes down to the creek
to help with raising the younguns. No singing at this time, too busy

Friends of ours had a tree where a mockingbird nested for 3 years in a
row. I could have listen to that bird all night. The drive to their
hour
took us by fields with a small brook, where deer would be grazing in
the long shadows. That and the food that our friends made, made every
other Sat. an event that I awaited with great anticipation. Mockingbird
left, friends left, deer left but I still do the Sat. night barbeque.
I'd love to listen to a mockingbird again.

In what part of the country do you have mockingbirds? Do you plant stuff
that will encourage them come 'round?

I saw my first hummingbird yesterday -- a nice Ruby Throat male. I was
so thrilled I could have kissed his pointy little beak. I know in groups
they are really not a nice bird but I love their little humming souls.
