------=_Part_9229_5654365.1217199679417 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I have been checking up on a a pair of N. Mockingbirds in one of my squares (but about 3km. away from the previous year's nest). A few days ago I saw 2 adults, 1 carrying food, and a juv. plumaged bird (spotty underpartds). Today I watched an adult head into a small tree with food and then come out without, so further investigation led to finding a nest containing 3 very young chicks. The fully fledged juvenal-plumaged bird was flying around nearby, so I suspect that might have been from an earler brood. The "owner" said that Mockingbirds had been around all Summer, often singing at 4am. I did not attempt to take photos of the nest, as that might have meant unnecessary disturbance, but I do have some of the adults and fledged older young.
