I'm off tomorrow for a week in a tent in upstate New York. Not expecting to have any internet access out there, but we'll see. Hoping to see a few new birds (and other critters) and forget completely about work.
Held a Mockingbird this morning. As I walked into the building where I work, a Mockingbird took off down the hall in front of me and flew into our library. I followed it in there and into someone's office. Closed the doors, turned off the lights, and went over and gently caught it. It gave a couple of peeps and a squawk. I took it outside,and it flew away. Interesting way to start the workday.
