[TN-Bird] Baby mockin' a-squawkin'

Today, I was among several invited to a friend's home on Canna Lane in the 
Cloisters development behind St. Henry's Catholic Church in the Why 100/Percy 
Warner Drive area of Nashville.  I parked my car in one of the parking areas 
for visitors, and, since I was a bit early, I stayed in the car for a few 
minutes.  All of a sudden, I heard IT...........the unmistakable voice of a 
baby mockingbird crying for food.  I looked toward the sound just in time to 
see a parent fly into a small tree next to someone's garage.  The parent was 
carrying food, and the vocal anticipation became stronger. During my wait, a 
second feeding was given.  As I started off up the street to my friend's 
home, a parent bird flew out of the tree and up to the apex of the roof where 
it observed me with a rather jaundiced eye!  This observation took place for 
a 15 minute period just before noon.  When I returned to my car around 
threeish, a parent bird was still on the "food run" detail.
