There is a proper time and place for almost everything.
One in the morning, in the maple tree outside my bedroom window, is NOT the time and place for a mocking bird to go through his ENTIRE repertoire! Did I mention, we've had some nice weather, sleeping with the windows open at night? This bird is less than 20 feet from my window, less than 25 feet from my bed! He carries on for an hour and half, and I could swear he never repeats one sound.
He knows most every bird's song, call and chirp, as well as a wolf call (must have hung out near a construction site at some point), crickets, baby crying and a ringing telephone. GAH! This has been THREE nights in a row.
I love animals, really, I DO. However I have considered going out there with the rake, handle end in the air, and rattling the lower leaves / branches to make him (or her?) move on.
Of course, the vision of me in my PJ's out in the front yard at 1 AM may be more than enough to scare the bird away, lol.
