Well I’ve gotten a little lax on tnis goal. I was reading an entry in my bird guide everyday but I haven’t done that for a couple weeks now. But yesterday I saw a beautiful mockingbird on the front lawn trying to crack some sort of large seed or berry. I was backing my car out of the driveway when I saw it and I stopped to watch it. It must have seen me since I wasn’t that far away but it kept concentrating on that thing in its beak. It was so close I could get a good look at its coloring. Mockingbirds are my favorite bird. Their tales are so expressive and they are so fun to listen to. I love watching them try to torment my cats. They are so protective of their young. Well anyhow that bird reminded me that I’ve neglected by goal about identifying birds so I’m resolved to get back to it. Thanks, Mockingbird!
