If you know anything about catbirds swooping down on people and dogs, please stop here

52. I just got home and checked my email to see if you had read my post

I am pretty tired but I wanted to tell you that I heard the mockingbirds singing tonight. It was quarter until 9 and I heard exactly the same kind of melody as in the video. Here's the strange thing. I live four blocks from the back of the metro. When I entered the station earlier today (it is gigantic) as I walked toward the gate to literally enter where the trains are, guess what I heard? I couldn't believe it. Mockingbirds are inside the Greenbelt metro station. I am just hoping there are no nests there because if so a lot of passengers are in for a big, big surprise!!

I scanned the text of your reply and was very interested in what I read. But I have to stop and do some things (including taking Cheyenne out!) so I will be back later tonight to check out the links you supplied. And thank you so much.

I am truly amazed at how much I have learned on this thread, and I am so glad I posted it. I wasn't even sure anyone would respond, and look at all the info.

Also interesting, last night I went in to the backyard and heard mockingbirds behind me. I do believe they are all over this area!!!

It has been a pleasure reading your posts, TuxedoKat, and I am sure we will be "talking" again.
