Mocker building a nest

The nest is being constructed in a topiary next to our front porch. The mocker allows me to sit on my front porch while he diligently builds not bothered. I am only a few feet away. You can see he even lands on one of my chairs. The nest is about 4 feet off the ground. It is under the eave of the house and next to a bush line. The mockers built in the same exact location last year. It is perfect because the nestlings can fled right to the podicarpus bush that goes around my porch. They don't have to jump out of anything.







...and that's a big branch buddy! Good luck with that...
