Mockingbirds

The mockingbirds are starting to sing. We're already getting into the 80's. I don't miss the cold weather in WY one bit.

I talked to my team leader today with homeeddirectory.com and got some of my questions answered. I'm enjoying the research and process of selling, working from home, and getting organized.

Here's a mockingbird montage:







I've always thought this was a cool fact about the song of the mockingbird (from http://10000birds.com/mockingbirds.htm): The song of the mockingbird is actually a medley of the calls of many other birds. Each imitation is repeated two or three times before another song is initiated. A given bird may have 30, 40 or even 200 songs in its repertoire, including other bird songs, insect and amphibian sounds, and even the occasional mechanical noise.
