Happy birding! Well it\'s almost a happy thing, if I wasn\'t attacked by the parent bird! One may have heard /read about how Mockingbird \' s natural instinct to safeguard their young. I have seen the bird hovering over my big dog\'s head some years past. But for me to experience a whack on the head? That ought to teach me a lesson for real. You see, there are 2 hatchlings of the 3 eggs, I was so happy for them but inadvertently I was too close for comfort. Momma bird, or that could be papa? Swooped down from the roof top and bam whacked my head with all its might while I tried to capture these photos! !! I hope you enjoy this little story that I\'ve shared. Happy Mother\'s Day.
