[TN-Bird] Bossy Mock comes a'beggin'

Birders,
As predicted, the bossy mock that came to fill up on pokeberries earlier just 
came a-beggin' from a chair on my deck for me to put out more peanut butter 
here in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville near Cleece's Ferry's boat 
landing at the Cumberland River in Davidson County.

I respected the request, the birds have filled up (gorged) and flew down to 
their usual roost in a very thick bush at the corner of my back yard.  Usually, 
one begs while the mate stands guard.  They eat, then the rest of the 
neighborhood mockingbirds come in to eat.  Apparently, the pecking order starts 
with 
the old oldest matriarch and patriarch of the mockingbird clan around here.  I 
usually have three or four couples to feed from neighboring yards.  All is 
well, with my mockingbirds home, fed and in bed for the evening until the 
season 
comes in when they all "shall rise up singing" at 2 AM outside my windows!

Happy birding,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
