Last in my nature series this week are some baby mockingbirds. They were nestled into some bushes next to a patio swing. Every time we bumped the covered patio column, the birds would open their mouths wide and wait on mommy. Originally, I could see only one. Then I noticed another one. It wasn't until Meredith picked up the camera and started filming that we found out there were actually four babies in the nest. Be sure to pay special attention to Meredith's part of the video. If you close your eyes and listen, you'll think Elly May Clampett was there....you know how Elly May loves her critters!
The mother bird was not happy about us videotaping her family. In fact, before we started filming, she had made a few "fly-by's" at us. She didn't hit anyone, but she gave us fair warning that she meant business. Angie said she saw the mother bird come close to pecking Scooter, one of our dogs. I didn't see it and Scooter still hasn't mentioned anything to me. But, as I explained in a previous blog, Scooter is a Roadhouse-Dalton wannabe. He doesn't get angry until it's time to get angry.
