Recently, a mockingbird has been visiting my birdbath outside my computer window so I tend to see him (or her) many times a day. She is beautiful and takes a drink as no other bird that I've seen. She stands on the side of the dish for awhile, looks around, then dips her head, gets a sip and raises up, leaning back with her beak pointing toward the sky. She does this several times at one sitting and then flutters off, leaving the birdbath swinging on its jute hanger.

until next time...c
