An Alabama mockingbird huddles in the cold on the second day of the Great Backyard Birdcount. This one and his or her mate make their home in the front yard in the shrubs. At night during the summer sometimes they make a heck of a racket, almost enough to keep you awake. For better or worse, this is the sharpest image we could get in the afternoon session today. Clouds moved in and blocked the sunlight. We did get photos of two unidentified birds, a pair of small gray birds and one interesting looking brown one - not sharp enough to publish. Checking the birds guides tonight… One of the red-shouldered hawks did circle overhead, once. No sign of the doves…
