The mockers in Henderson were horribly territorial and it was common to see people with umbrellas when they went outside, because the mocker would dive-bomb them. Nasty little critters! And there wee so many of them!
And as my mother would say, “Nature! Ain’t it GRAND?”
They were probably extra-aggressive due to overpopulation relative to the habitat. My mom says they get that way in Florida in the spring, too.
I’m going to clean the stove now, so I’ll have an Accomplishment for the day.
