Does it look like this?

IT's the wrong time of the year to hear them sing but when you do it's easy
to tell if it's a mocking bird. Their song is one of the joys of a summer
evening.
Another good reason to kill a cat.

I tried to get a photo of him "in the act" but it didn't come out, here is
the best I could do

"The act," and he's been doing this for two months or more, is to fly down
to my truck and flap and hover while pecking at the outside rear view
mirrors ! He does this for hours, some days.

Any of you BirdBuffs out there know what kind of bird he is and have any
idea "why" he does this? Mainly I'm just curious, but it would be nice
to
stop him without causing him harm, as he craps all over both sides of the
truck and dirties the mirrors so much I have to clean them nearly every
time
I need to drive.


g since his behavior is so aberrant, and I spend so much time deleting
the
mess he leaves behind, I've named him after a favorite roffian G

I concur. Plus, I believe there is little difference between the male and the
female in the Jay family.

What I want to know is this: Are there any good trout patterns that you
could use the feathers for? ;-)

ah, but joey, when he slaps the surly bartender up side the head with a
walker colt, saying, all we need is a drink and a little respect, "sublime"
just isn't enough of a compliment. and then, the manner in which he
delivers: "by god, woodrow, it ain't dyin' i'm talkin' about; it's
*livin*!--hellfire, i just can't handle it.

Cat fur is more useful. More colors available. More fun too, the new
17 rim fire magnum is perfect for the dumb *******s. %^)
