Yesterday

Likes their holly bush for nesting. She has had to save several fledglings every year when they fell out of the nest. She's got a great success rate for letting them rest up and try again. The adults are grateful and hang out near her, thanking her with their calls.

They don't nest in my yard, but there are battles every year between the mockers and robins, or cardinals.
