I am ticking them off on my list, but very, very slowly.<br /><br />Jacqueline, how cool is that! I love hearing what the mockers are talking about. We have seen quite a decline in numbers of them here in recent years. I had to work to find even one this summer, when usually several pairs are fighting over the prime territory.<br /><br />Linda, today our weather is normal, and I have to say I prefer weird. lol<br /><br />Denny, most of ours go, but a few always stay behind eating fruits and berries. Normally the main flock in this area hangs around north of the river, but this year there are quite a few on the south side where we live. They seem kind of lost though.<br /><br />Cathy, I had to think a minute before I even recognized it. So out of time and season. Enjoy Florida! My brother just retired there and he regales and torments me with tales of what he sees in his backyard. It is a long way from a White-throated Sparrow to a Sandhill Crane, in more than geography. lolthreecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-44345335051774630012016-01-16T21:04:31.546-05:002016-01-16T21:04:31.546-05:00Oh! to hear that chortle of the robin.

How did they know we were going to have an unusually warm winter?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947248280655068372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-46102245713656625802016-01-16T17:11:29.098-05:002016-01-16T17:11:29.098-05:00We are just as odd...terribly cold and snowy.

Not likely our year-round resident Cardinals would winter in the Caribbean, but Northern Mockingbirds must, because that was the bird who had brought a whole repertoire of northern birdsong to this tropical isle.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-34382255827130885752016-01-16T09:26:42.475-05:002016-01-16T09:26:42.475-05:00It's been a warmer winter here but oddly we ha...It's been a warmer winter here but oddly we hardly have any birds.
