Lately I have noticed a Mockingbird hanging around in our backyard. This one allows fairly close proximity without flying away as long as there are no objects being carried. I'm talking about a 5-6 foot distance. I checked around in all the nearby bushes and trees thinking it was nesting nearby but found nothing. I enjoy their presence and encourage it not only for their bug eating habit but also enjoy listening to their multitude of sounds they make when they are singing.
We have no pets or kids to scare them so I am wondering if this is normal behavior that I just never noticed before.
