I was amused today to watch a Northern Mockingbird standing guard over the
feeders in front of my house. He sat there calmly allowing any bird that wanted
to to come and eat all they wanted , EXCEPT for starlings. As soon as a
starling showed up he would go into a rage chattering at the starlings and
driving them viciously away. As soon as they were gone he would go back to
the
same perch and sit there lethargically, even allowing me to pass within two
feet of him without flinching.
