Mockingbirds can be cute, too! (pt 1 of 2) (Mimus polyglottos)

This is one of the pair of Mockers who has been guarding my feeders for months now. I am judging her to be the female, mainly because of her placid personality, but also because she has a little more white on the sides of her face than does the male. Here she is perching on the tree by the driveway where I have two suet feeders hanging. This tree has turned out to be the Mockers' primary daytime roosting place and the tree they guard the most intensively.
