#Mockingbirds don’t visit the backyard feeders, they prefer to hunt for live food, but they are always around. This is a parent with a freshly caught treat for its open-mouthed fledgling, which it proceeded to pass over to it a few seconds after this photo.

Mockingbirds are such accommodating models. This one entertained me with a medley of songs during our photo shoot.

The baby mockingbirds have arrived. My kitchen window looks slightly down on the nest so I can see their little heads pop up with beaks open wide as the parent swoops in with treats. I've tried three times to get pictures while the parents were out searching for worms and was only caught once. This is the best I could do with limited time and awkward positioning. In the first set of images, they looked like tiny bald monsters from hell so I opted not to post. They are looking a little better now in their tiny dinosaur stage.
