Our Mockingbird Family

Monday, June 16th, 2008

A pair of mockingbirds built this nest in what appeared to me to be a very precarious position on top of two interleaved palm fronds from neighboring palms in our back yard. But the birds have a much better instinct for nest building than I do. One bird is hanging out there permanently now, so I suspect eggs have been laid.

Mockingbird Nest
This bird doesn’t react to our presence and appears to be staying put to take care of eggs.

This shows the rather precarious positioning of the nest on palm fronds. It has survived some pretty vigorous thunderstorms already.
