BUT it is 3:30AM. I can't go back to sleep with what I consider way too much noise this early in the morning.

The windows were open, and I started hearing what sounded like 5 different birds...blue jay, starling, red-tailed hawk? What the hey? I finally figured it out that it was a mockingbird. I like to hear birds sing at night. It harmonizes well with the frogs.<BR/>Our resident mockingbirds bring their young to our feeders after they fledge, and that's the only time they annoy me. Those young are louder than all the other birds in the yard combined!Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-69398557709912889102007-03-26T22:00:00.000-04:002007-03-26T22:00:00.000-04:00I love it when they sing all night!We had them nes...I love it when they sing all night!<BR/><BR/>We had them nest for quite a few years in our yard, but they stopped around the time that we got cable TV and took down the antenna on the roof. Coincidence? They're still in the neighborhood, but sing mostly from our neighbor's antenna. They're most visible in the winter, protecting the holly berries from the starlings.<BR/><BR/>Hope yours stay to nest!LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-75027592252022849652007-03-26T13:27:00.000-04:002007-03-26T13:27:00.000-04:00Keith, good point!!!

Mockingbirds will sing all night. All. Night.<BR/>Every night. All through the night. And not a whole bunch of songs either. One song. All night.<BR/>I plan on appreciating Mockingbirds a lot more in another thirty years, when I can just turn off my hearing aid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
