Beautiful bird!! What a thrill to get to see the pair together. I came home today to find a mess by my driveway a mockingbird had made a nest & had at least 1 tiny baby & crow got the baby to the ground (dead)& mom/dad I don't know as lot of feathers all over, hope it wasn't my favorite 1 & hope it's is still alive. It must be a little ragged if it is. He?(I think males are only ones that sing) often sat just a few feet from me when I weeded & sang or just sat there.Haven't weeded for over a month so it's a mess out there, hope to get into better routine soon.Day by day for now. Mockingbird lets me know if birdbath is about empty by whizzing over my head, hummers do that too, if their feeder is empty. Jules, send some of those beauties my way, I would love to see them in my yard. I have seen a regular oriole drinking from my hummer feeder.Jan

Oh sheesh, I think what we rescued last night were Mom & Dad, not the babies. This afternoon the babies are still cheeping at the top of their lungs in there. I guess I will have to keep an eye out for anyone else needing help. Mom & Dad must have got on the wrong side of the damper by accident. I can hear when they fly in and out so I will make sure to listen that they're ok and still coming back to their babies today. Hope everyone's ok! :0 Laurie, yes they are lucky I noticed them, I was just going to bed and DH noticed that the cat was going nuts in front of the fireplace, LOL. Maggie found them for us.

She was nibbling on a Laurel leaf willow that was too big anyways. Had been knocked down by the wind . It grows like a weed so no problem. In fact she is welcome back to keep pruning it any time she wants.

That's funny that you name them. Mine are Momma, Blackie, Little Blackie and "the other one"... LOL! They don't usually bother me (even to the point that they come out to "help" when I'm raking leaves) but when they started doing the twisty thing as a pair on my pool deck - I drew the line and got out the hose! BTW - If you missed your hummer for a day, she came down south here for a quick visit - thanks for sharing! It was the first time I have seen one here.
