Silly Mockingbird!

It's 11:45 PM and there's a crazy mockingbird in my front yard! This poor bird has been singing almost non-stop night and day for several days now. Steve and I finally decided that it must be the full moon. He goes through his entire repertoire over and over again. The poor thing exhausted himself so much a couple of days ago that he'd fall asleep for a little while and then would start up again with a half-hearted effort. Today he was pretty quiet all day but about an hour ago he just let out a whole-hearted string and hasn't stopped since! Steve finally couldn't take it anymore and went out to the tree and shook it. Wonder how long he'll be quiet? He'll probably move to another part of the yard and start all over again. Poor thing!
