A photo of two Galapagos Mockingbirds chasing after water on the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. These birds can sense water from far away due to the fact that there is no fresh water on the Galapagos Islands, save one island. The Floreana mockingbird is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. / The small populations of the Floreana species are especially affected by El / Niño cycles, which cause significant changes in population size. Global / warming may increase the occurrence and severity of these cycles. / The extinction of Floreana mockingbirds on the main island is likely to be / due to a combination of factors. It has been associated with the loss of / Opuntia cacti, which were destroyed by invasive goats, donkeys and pigs / and are now very rare on this island. / Predatory cats and black rats that eat mockingbird eggs are likely to have / affected mockingbird populations. The smooth-billed ani is an introduced / bird that preys on nestlings including mockingbirds. Parasitic Philornis / flies have been found in mockingbird nests, affecting nestling survival. / San Cristóbal mockingbird populations are declining within their / restricted range on a single island. This species is listed as Endangered on / the IUCN Red List. The Española species is listed as Vulnerable due to its / restricted range. Habitat degradation and the impact of invasive species / and climatic events continue to threaten these species. / Like other Galapagos birds, mockingbirds are susceptible to introduced / avian diseases, such as avian pox. Avian pox was introduced with bird / species brought to the islands, including poultry. In the future, avian / malaria and West Nile virus infection may also become a problem.

‘Atticus – ’ said Jem bleakly. ‘How could they do it, how could they?’ ‘I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it – seems that only children weep. Good night.’ / “Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird” Open to interpretation – I’d love to hear what you think, and see if i got across the point i was trying to.. / The reference photo was taken by frixen on DeviantART (www.frixen.deviantart.com)

While I was in Texas, I would sit on my dad’s front porch in the mornings watching the birds and squirrels and just taking in the natural world. This Mockingbird was nesting in a tree across the street. I watched her lfor quite awhile….she would land on this pole with a bug in her mouth…..look around in all directions…then dive into the tree and disappear…..i assume she was feeding her babies….a mother’s work is never done! :-)

These baby Mockingbirds were just hatched out June 25, 2008. I know that now because within an hour after taking photos of just two baby birds, I went back and there were three. Will be checking back today to see if the fourth egg has produced a fourth baby bird. We had rain last night, I hope they are ok.

Here they are, four baby Mockingbirds, the Texas State bird. I think they are adorable, some people don’t think so at this age. They are 1 day old, started hatching out 6/25/08, one by one.

MADE IT IN NATURAL DEVELOPMENTS WILDLIFE COMPETITION MONTH 1 – JANUARY 2009 Just a close up of the four little baby Mockingbirds. The last baby was gone today. I do not know if the parents moved it along with the other two that were missing as of yesterday. One baby got caught in the wire and died. I do not want to think the worst, so I don’t. I will always have the adorable photos I was able to capture in just four short days.

The songs this bird mimmicks & then sings are of the most beautiful and uniquely vast I have ever heard a common bird do.. Thought I would share some more information about this common but fascinating bird of songs with you. I have been advised here by a fellow bubbler thats it’s good to include information with my photographs here on occassion. Mockingbirds (mimus polyglottos) are non-migrating, year-round residents of all areas of the USA, Cuba, Mexico, the Antilles, the Galapagos, and the Bahamas. They usually inhabit gardens with winter berries available, grassy lawns, forest edges, and suburbs, but can be found in every kind of habitat from desert to city. Mockingbirds require open grassy areas for feeding, thick thorny shrubs for hiding the nest, and high perches to sing. The Mockingbird was adopted as the state bird of Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida. / Mockingbirds – Description There are several species of Mockingbirds (Blue, Bahama, Tropical, Chilean, Galapagos, Charles, Hood, San Cristobal, Chalk-browed, Northern, and other Mockingbirds). The most widely spread is the Northern Mockingbird. Mockingbirds are medium-sized, slender birds with light gray above and pale below and with white wing patches and outer tail feathers. The wings are long and the tail is short. Mockingbirds have black legs and yellow eyes. The sexes cannot be distinguished by color. Length: about 23 cm (9 inches). / Wing Span: 14 inches. / Weight: about 50 g. / Life Span: up to 8 years. Mockingbirds – Diet / Mockingbirds are omnivorous. The major part of their diet consists of insects (beetles, ants, bees, wasps, butterflies, and grasshoppers), earthworms, crustaceans, and small lizards. Mockingbirds are also fond of fruits both wild and cultivated. Nikon D70. Winter 2008. Grafton, Illionois in a Back yard tree off a small deck.

What more accomplished songster than the mockingbird to express thanks for someone who brightens the world with music? I was blessed one day to take photos of this mockingbird sitting serenely on the bannister of my front porch. I shot the pictures through the window from inside my living room and was surprised they came out this clear. I love mockingbirds but can seldom get this close to them; they are very wary and usually don’t pose still like this for any length of time.

I got a lucky shot of this Northern Mockingbird, not long after I heard it literally mocking a Robin in the tree outside my kitchen window. I think they have very pretty little faces…even if their colors seem a bit bland in comparison to some of those they choose to mock…. I wonder if it is simple envy that drives them to it?

My entry for the latest challenge for the A T-shirt Revolution group. The challenge – We’re going to play a little game of chance for this speed tee challenge. Head over to your bookshelf. Select any book that catches your eye and open it. Any page will do. Find a paragrah. This paragraph will be your topic. We want your t-shirt design to visually represent the content of this paragraph, whatever it may be. My design based on a paragraph from one of my favourite high school books, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The paragraph I chose at random: We were surprised one morning to see a cartoon in the Montgomery Advertiser above the caption ‘Maycomb’s Finch’. It showed Atticus barefooted and in short pants, chained to a desk: he was diligently writing on a slate while some frivolous-looking girls yelled, ‘Yoo-hoo!’ at him.

As the sun departs the day which gave it bread, the mockingbird sings out its many songs… / The Day gives way to night, and then returns yet again without worry, without loss of faith of it’s strength and beauty. / So too, we should all greet each day without worry, without loss of faith and remember the unique beauty we each have. FEATURED: May, 2009 “Live, Love, Dream” / FEATURED: May, 2009 “Skyscapes” / FEATURED: May, 2009 “A Place To Call Home” “Paying Tribute” was voted challenge winner with 3 votes in the group challenge, “Enlightened Horizons” in the group “ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART AND WRITING”

What is reflected in a single raindrop? Number 1 in an unfinished, ongoing series on rain. This version is floated, for additional depth. (See full bleed version for Canvas and Poster.)

First in an unfinished series on rain. When I think of rain, fresh smells, playing in puddles, and, especially, birds come to mind. Rain must surely have been meant for birds as much as for anyone. Their after-the-rain songs and forages have always made me smile.

RAIN CATCHER The sound of rain - however soft or hard, windblown or delicately dropping on nearby leaves - transports me to a heavenly place, where my face touches the sky; but my feet are firmly on the ground, where the rain falls down on them. When the rain starts, I am perhaps in my most glorious state. — F.A. Moore Digital artwork, by F.A. Moore, June 27, 2009. Rain Catcher is the second in the “Rain” series. It incorporates the artwork, “Rain – I”, the first in the series. Special thanks to Milly-Stock for the model.
