of this lovely bird
i have a bird feeder
mostly visited by mourning doves
blue jays and some elusive singing birds
but on Tuesday, this little guy
was giving us a concert! please listen to him...
now, the movie is bad quality
so while he sung
i grabbed my photo-camera
and photographed him too
and i wasn't the only one
listening, here some of his vivacious public
now, i assume he's a mocking bird
because he sings in so many pretty styles!
but if you reading this know about birds
please let me know if you know what kind he is
also, it would be helpful is you knew...
how to film a mocking bird!

i'll keep my ears open for those singing birds and let you know if i found out the name of his kind

Hola Bere,
I think that's a Hutton's vireo ( http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Huttons_Vireo/id ). There is a couple of those on a tree by my friend's house in University Height, and they vocalize like there is no tomorrow. :oD Sometimes they go chasing each other around the canopies... Really rather handsome fellows with a white bar on each of their wings. I don't think my friend's cat like them much... :oP
Smorgy :o)
hola mister Smorg, great to hear from you, thank you so much on the link of the Huttons Vireo, i listened to the video you sent, but hey!! "my" bird sings much prettier heh heh... it might be that this is a more adult bird... but also, it might be a Huttons V. 'cause i do live very close to University Heights... & btw my neighbors seem to be annoyed, just like your cat's friend, by so many birds that come to my little yard ;) since they are singing the whole day, and YES, these little birds are relentless! they sing for hours... but actually H. Gato and F. Kitty seem to ignore them, they like better the sparrows, specially when they are eating on the floor, i have a hard time keeping away from them so they won't munch them down...
well mister Smorg, i will keep on researching on the bird and find out if he really is a Huttons Vireo or what, in the meantime, i am delighted by his songs!
