Growing from under my raised garden bed
The guy/gal flew into the work truck when we pulled up to the jobsite. It tried to fly through the windshield from the driver side window. I released it and it flew away.
Looks like there might only be 1 fledging.

However, Perching Is Fine
The fact that Mockingbirds like to perch on signs, can lead to funny photo opportunities. Rebel birds
melanistic juvenile; on tasajillo cactus
Fledgeling. Mother was in nearby tree.
Alone on a bough
The Mockingbird sings,
But down on the ground
The dancing begins.
Nestling that was out of its nest. I put it in the vines around the tree since I couldn't reach the nest.
Leucistic mockingbird fledglings?
Males disputing territory boundaries fly toward each other, land near the boundary, and face off, silently hopping from one side to another. 2nd time I had witnessed this "dance" in 2 days, in the same area of my yard. Had my camera this time.
