Hi Folks, This morning, after breakfast, at the Waterford Assisted Living in Bellevue (West of Nashville, Davidson County), a mockingbird attracted my attention as it hopped about the patio outside the dining room. I went to the edge of the patio and sprinkled some biscuit crumbs. "Mock" responded immediately, and I "shot" it with my Canon-digital, as it ate hungrily away at its new found food source. Bet I am not the first human that bird has cajoled into feeding it. Ahhh, another mockingbird "friend,"or suppose one if mine followed me the six air miles from home to here????????? Impossible????????? Don't know. Bet'cha this baby is local! Cheers & grand birding, Dee Thompson Nashville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
