By the way, You had those birds on your hands!! That is awesome!

I just planted a lot of berrying trees, shrubs and plants last year. I hope some perform this year. I love the Mockingbirds and Catbirds. I'm trying to keep them happy! I feed them fruit and Jelly now but I think they will enjoy the new plantings.

Oh man, you should see my resident mockingbird try to protect all of his berry trees and bushes when the robins and waxwings arrive!!! He tries so hard to run they off from everything and then finally gives up and decides to protect just one tree ~ which (once he focuses all of his attention on it) he usually manages to keep pretty much for himself.

I love this mockingbird ~ he 'owns' a large section of our backyard and he is so much fun to watch!
