Oh what sweet songs the mockingbirds do sing.
Now that the temperature and humidity have dropped somewhat, and the sun is not blasting down from overhead, the neighborhood mockingbirds are singing so much more. It's a sign that the long hot summer is over and we are in store for nice weather for about the next six months or so.
These birds are very territorial so you don't want to get in their space, especially when it's mating season and they have their nests. They are natural pest controllers. They are monogamous. Their songs are amazing. Hearing them makes me feel happy.
Below is a video of one singing.
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
