See that jasmine arbor to the left?
It has been the focus of our attention
lately as two mockingbirds have decided to
turn it into their honeymoon haven...
First the building...
It went on for days as they flew back and forth
with beaks of straw and twigs and grasses.
In and out they went...
until finally they were satisfied...
They settled in nicely...
while the honeymoon went on...
but sooner than a blink...
eggs were spotted in nest as we had to take a
peek inside...days went by.
Soon more in and out and out and in...
with beaks filled with tasty little morsels for the little ones.
I am convinced that the parents are the wee ones we
had two seasons ago when they built a nest very near our bedroom
door in the Wisteria ...then we could see and hear them...
They are “my mockingbirds”....
They have used my husbands sculpture as a landing spot.
