Title: Northern Mockingbird - MTC
Post by: Bird Brain on November 17, 2012, 09:36:51 PM

Hi everyone.  This morning at 8:15am, sighted a Northern Mockingbird at the East side of Meadowvale Town Centre - behind Shoppers Drug Mart, gym, etc.  Perched on a tree branch, at eye level, about 3 feet in front of me.  Wow!  He was not happy to see me and flew to roof of church behind the shrubs/trees.

Hi smartygirl.  Welcome to the forum.   :)

So true!  The ultimate is when a bird feeds from your hand and/or sits on your head!   :lol:

Carefull Jo-Anne, remember sometimes that leads to some of the buggers  pecking your head too. I know you are quite familiar with that!!
