Mockingbird

Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians, often loudly and in rapid succession.

In our lemon tree a Mockingbird laid three eggs a little while back. Now the babies look like they are getting ready to fly soon. We see momma going in and out quite a few times a day. She must be exhausted. She will flutter around if you get too close to the tree. Here she is coming back with food for the babies.
