All spring and most of this summer we have had a Mockingbird that lived in the pine tree across the road. From sun up until sundown it would sit on the phone line outside our house and go through it's medley (VERY talented bird) I once started counting how many bird songs it did and finally gave up around 15. At first, I was fascinated (first Mockingbird I ever saw up close and personal), then it got on my nerves, then it just became a constant and I didn't notice it anymore....
until it stopped.
I haven't seen our little Mockingbird in the last week. Not a peep (in any bird language). I don't know if one of the barn cats got it or if it just decided to move. Heck, it may have died of starvation because he NEVER shut up, and I never saw him on the ground eating. Of course, I have no idea what they eat so he could have been feasting on tree bugs at night for all I know.
But, I miss my little Mockingbird. I hope we get another one next spring.
