The Mockingbirds are Back

I was walking to the beach yesterday, and this mockingbird stood still while I took her picture (At least I think that it is a female because of the markings). I was almost directly under her as I took this picture.

The mockingbirds disappear over the summer, but show up in the winter here in Nassau, and it is nice to have them back. Whenever I hear a new birdsong, and look around to see what it is, invariably it is the mockingbird trying out a new song. They are welcome visitors.
