This year a pair of mockingbirds have decided to establish a nest in our smaller flowering pear tree. It has been really neat to be able to see these babies up close. So the other day, while the parents were away from the nest, I decided to grab my camera and take a few shots of them. I had my husband keeping an eye out in case either of the parents came back. Has anyone ever been attacked by a mockingbird?? Definitely not fun!! LOL

Just to give you an idea, I am 5'6" and all I had to do was reach up and through the branches to take these shots. Why they decided to set up their nest here and not in the much larger pear trees about 10 feet away I have no idea. We did have a few disputes between the robins and the mockingbirds in our yard a few weeks ago, so maybe that is why they chose this tree instead????

Anyway on to the pics!!




They are sooo adorable!!

Thanks for looking!! Hope you enjoyed them!!
