Appelbaum" Subject: Mockingbird Tricks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I haven't heard this yet myself because I'm holed up in bed this week with a bad upper respiratory infection and bronchitis about the only good part of which is that it's not SARS. But my friend who lives on Serpentine Drive in the Snowden Mills complex in the Greater Silver Spring Area tells me that this morning when he went outside he was greated by a Mockingbird doing a mediocre rendition of a car alarm -- the kind that goes "bop, bop, bop, ooowwee, oooooweee, ooooweee, bop, bop, bop." I've heard about things like this before, but I've never heard them *myself* so I'm hoping the bird is still out singing about his territory when I finally get out of bed!
