Baby Mockingbirds

Last spring we were fortunate to have mockingbirds nest in our honeysuckles. It was a lot of fun watching them grow up, but I don't care to have them back.

Mockingbirds are very protective of their nests. Although the babies were grown and ready to leave the nest in a couple of weeks, the adults would dive bomb anyone in the back yard. They made life miserable for our dogs.
