Northern Mockingbird
Northern Mockingbird
Both the male and female are involved in the nest building. The male does most of the work, while the female perches on the shrub or tree where the nest is being built to watch for predators. The nest is built approximately three to ten feet above the ground. The outer part of the nest is composed of twigs, while the inner part is lined with grasses, dead leaves, moss, or artificial fibers. The eggs are a light blue or greenish color and speckled with dots. The female lays three to five eggs, and she incubates them for nearly two weeks. Once the eggs are hatched, both the male and female will feed the chicks.

Nice Capture with the open wings HJ
Thank you. Ashley. The open wings means he’s mad about something!

Thank you, Susan. 🙂
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful to read about the nesting behavior of these two species, HJ. And that’s a beautiful photo of the mockingbird with wings outstretched.
You must know this already…when the mockingbirds open their wings like that, it means they are mad at something or someone. Thank you, my friend. 🙂
