Thanks Maryanne! Shall I enroll you in the Doodles and Jots Flight School?
I’m a total bird-idiot-hatchling. It’s good to see what a mockingbird looks like, though. This was fun!

The Mocking Bird is really kind of ordinary looking – but cool to listen to. I would like to get a video.
I did quite terribly.
I love that gorgeous heron!!!

Isn’t it cool?! Would love to get more pictures of them.
Wow, I failed miserably! I only got the Mockingbird thanks to your song reference!
Did you take all of these photos? Because 1) that’s a crazy amount of beautiful birds in your neck of the woods, and 2) they are great photos!

I did, in fact, most of them in my yard. I really have to do a bird count – it is crazy how many and it is NOT like I am out there all the time!
Oh man. I suck at this. And I really want to learn about birds. I got the mocking bird, and that is about it and only because of the excellent clue you gave me. I must bone up!
