[TN-Bird] Bossy Mockingbirds feeding young

Hello Birders,
 
Here in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville, my bossy mockingbirds  
have babies in a nest across the street.  On Wednesday (April25), BOTH  
parents began coming to the feeder and hauling peanut butter away in their  
filled 
beaks.  This morning, I finally felt "strong" enough to go outside  and watch 
where they went.  I didn't have to SEE; I heard the baby mocks  squawking for 
food!  The little brood is keeping the parents busy hauling  PB and keeping ME 
busy refilling the orange halves with it.  I guess my  mockingbird season has 
started and will occupy my time, as this is the family of  mockingbirds that 
starts producing early and keeps a nest full of babies going  all the way up to 
October!  My work is cut out for me, and my peanut butter  budget just 
increased!
 
Super birding!
