Mockingbirds laid an egg on Mother's Day

What a beautiful exciting Mother's Day! First the ducks and then this was laid by the mockers in my front today. They usually lay one a day and then they start sitting. Until then, they don't stay in the nest much. What a beautiful exciting Mother's Day!

They have been building this nest since I posted below, long ago on March 23, but they scouted the spot on the day of the garage sale b/c they were upset we were in their way. I think they had babies elsewhere and lost them to Kite Swallowtails, because, I never saw the fledgling and you do see them being mentored for a long while, flying and learning to eat with their parents. Last I saw the parents were crazy feeding nestlings. I saw the Kites overhead near their nest for a couple of days.
