I've had a Northern Mockingbird in the area for the last two winters but haven't seen it for a while. Yesterday, while taking out the garbage, I spotted it in the bushes along the railroad tracks with a flock of Starlings. These tracks run east/west just north of Dupont and the Mockingbird was just east of Symington, behind the parking lot for the Caldense Bakery.
Also, a Red-tailed Hawk was hunting to the north of the tracks this morning. It seemed to be taking advantage of the strong wind to stay aloft.
