I saw my first mockingbird today…flitting around the school yard. I was so surprised, I didn’t have time to find my camera, but I’m going to look for it tomorrow, camera in hand =)
Love the poem!

That’s a really nice picture of a mockingbird, Marg. I didn’t know they were so pretty up close. re: the Haiki: Yep, as much as I like mockingbirds, they used to wake me up at night when I lived out west.

Great picture Marg followed by a great Haiku Max. I realllly like this one. I can just hear those mockers singing. I have one that is terrorizing the feeder right outside my office window. I wish he/she would move on. She has decided that this is her personal feeder. I haven’t seen the red-breasted nuthatches since she moved in and took over.

@ Marg – no . . THANK YOU and was an honor to allow me to use it!
@ Rondi – how great to see them! We just don’t have any around here and sometimes wish I did have seen more of them! Hope you get picture of yours that you found!
@ Linda – didn’t she do great? I also love Max’s Haiku! I use to have a chipping sparrow who would vocalize once an hour each night!
@ Kathiesbirds – thanks and glad you enjoyed it!
@ Pam – didn’t they do great! Thanks
@ Barb – I loved that shot also!
@ YN-J – She did great!
@ lvn – for sure! Thanks
@ Lisa – Both were wonderful and I thought it was perfect to connect together for todays post! It must be great seeing them but give some room for the Red-breasted Nuthatch!

Ooohs, lovely picture. I haven’t really seen a mockingbird upclose where I live in Asia, Borneo… though we have much hornbills. haha

Probably my favorite haiku yet. Nice job – and a stellar shot.

That’s a beautiful photo and Haiku. I like the Mockingbirds, too. Calm ones ;o)

I was so excited I forgot to say Great Haiku Max! They do go well together.
This mocker was quite the model and shortly after this shot was almost eaten by a Coopers Hawk! You can see more by clicking on my Flickr shot for the whole story. (and a crumby shot of the Coopers ;D)

D-uh just noticed Barb mentioned the Coopers on Flickr didn’t mean to plug it again ;D
Thanks for all the nice comments on my photo-makes me sing like a mocker-LOL!
I hope your Red Breasted comes back Lisa-Red Breasted are one of my faves

A wonderful post. Thank you!

Lovely. I love haiku and their balancing descriptions of nature.
11 March 2008 at 5:30 pm
Good job, Marg! Keep ’em coming. 🙂

@ Nita – thanks and both poem and picture were great together!
@ Floweret – thanks and they are such great birds whenever we all get to see them. I would love seeing hornbills! Thanks for your visit!
@ marty – thanks and they I need to get the girls to write some more of these!
@ Mary – thanks and I am so glad I was able to share these with everyone!
@ Marg – LOL, he did do great! You have just as great of an exciting life as we all do with the birds . . . you should do a guest post on here! Hint hint . . .
@ Marg – 🙂 you are more than welcome to plug this picture as much as you want! It’s a great story for sure that everyone should see!
@ Barb – thanks and these guys do for sure!
@ Lisa – glad to be able to share both the haiku and photo with everyone!
@ Dave – thanks and glad you enjoyed it!
@ Me and your camera – it really requires being creative and they are not that easy to do! But when they are done right . . . very powerful! Thanks
@ Lana – I so agree and you should see all her pictures on her photostream!

Wow that looks so different than the Northern Mockingbirds I see here (SF) – it must’ve been very cold out for it to be so hunkered down and fluffed up! Love the haiku – keep ’em coming!
12 March 2008 at 12:04 am
So true! Does anyone understand why they sing all day and night? Great photo!
12 March 2008 at 1:35 am
@ Adam – I bet a few of your species looks a little different than ours! Thanks
@ NatureShutterbug – Thanks and I think maybe it’s because they are on territory, making sure its neighbors remember not to come into its territory!
12 March 2008 at 6:31 pm
wow, now there is a bird I’m almost certain I’ve never seen. Thank you Monarch and Marg for sharing it with me. Very cool. Based upon your really nice poem maybe it’s a good thing? I love the shot btw!
13 March 2008 at 2:35 am
Beautiful, all three of you!
13 March 2008 at 7:29 pm
Great bird to make a poem about. They sing so many beautiful songs. Incredible shot!
