Also On the Missing List

Yesterday I promised to review the list and see what other birds might be AWOL as we finish the first quarter of December.  And one came to mind quite rapidly: the Northern Mockingbird.  I'm used to seeing this aggressive devils working the peanut butter and suet, but I don't recall seeing one in some time.  Some folks would not be terribly put out by this development, given the reputation of mockingbirds.  And I admit I'm not too worried.  Certainly they'll show up eventually.  And birds do come and go in patterns I have not entirely come to understand.  Well, let's see if by January the feeders are decorated with mockingbirds and their friends.
