Baby Mockingbirds


Baby Mockingbirds

These babies live in a dogwood tree at the college where I work. If the photo's a bit blurry, it's because both parents kept assaulting me while I was taking pictures. This photo was taken about 9 days ago. Needless to say, they are much larger now.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa they are so cute. I can just imagine you being dive bombed by the parents. Mockers are ferocious when defending their nests.

Nice shot of the chicks! You're a real trooper to endure the assaults of parental mockingbirds. Those suckers are fierce. We've got them all over our yard--they're constantly divebombing the dogs (which is funny, I admit).
